Re: SOAP addressbook example

maybe its long since irrelant...

but I'm using Tomcat 5.5 and have previously used Tomcat 4.0

My experience is that the classpath is totally irrelevant -

the directorys I'm listening come from Tomcat 5.5 - but they shouldn't 
be too different in Tomcat 4.x

just place the jar files in C:\Tomcat\common\lib - anything in this 
folder (or in the classes folder) is effectively in the classpath - it 
is available to all applications on the tomcat

or even better place them in the matching webapps\my_application\WEB-INF\lib
Anything in this folder is accessible, only to that web application 
(where I would place your JAR file)

I hope that helps
