Servlet not getting loaded when put in a jar file

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a servlet which i put in a jar file and placed in WEB-INF/lib directory of my war. After deploying the ear file when i call the servlet, it says class not found. The same servlet is working fine when i keep the class file in web-inf/classes or web-inf/bin directory. Do WAS not support servlet loading from jar file in lib directory? is it mandatory that the class file needs be placed??

regards,

Sujesh,

Your deployment descriptor i.e. web.xml has a tag <servlet-class> which contains the fully qualified class name of your servlet.

This class needs to be located in the WEB-INF/classes directory.

Any auxiliary library JAR files must be stored in the WEB-INF/lib directory.

Yes. All those configurations are correct, except that i want to put the servlet class in a jar file and to be placed in WEB-INF/lib directory. in this case it doesn't load the servlet

Are you using NWDS for deployment ?
