I put the DLL in the Windows System directory and it seems to work fine for
the Java apps that I'm running in the Axis Web Services Web Application
under Tomcat 5

Using this approach I don't appear to need a LD_PATH setting at all.

As for the jawin.jar... I've had success putting both in the shared library
folder for the Tomcat server as well as in the Library folder for the Web
Application itself.

Subject: [JAWIN] jawin and Tomcat 5

My standalone Java application works fine using jawin (with
-Djava.library.path=...), but I cannot get the same code working from JSP
web application hosted by Tomcat 5.

It looks like it cannot find jawin.dll. I am getting

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
 MyBeans.JavaNativeBridge.<init>(JavaNativeBridge.java:134)
 org.apache.jsp.index_jsp._jspService(org.apache.jsp.index_jsp:50)

The index.jsp uses:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"
import="MyBeans.*"%>
<jsp:useBean id="oJNB" scope="session" class="MyBeans.JavaNativeBridge" />
<%... some JSP stuff calling oJNB methods ... %>

Is there anything special that needs to be don in Tomcat to get it working?
