[Jython-users] Running JythonServlet on tomcat: package manager reports strange things

[Waclawczyk J. <Jan...@ic...>]

Hi,

I  installed and ran JythonSerlvet on tomcat3.2.3 and with jython-2.1a2 as described at http://jywiki.sourceforge.net/index.php?JythonServlet. 
The first example hello.py works fine !

Then I tried to copy my jar files to the directory <context>/WEB-INF/lib and use them within my jython servlet scripts (i.e. I import java classes in these scripts)  but it didn't function: the package manager reported about all these new jar files, but that's all: when running script I got exception: ClassNotFoundException for classes included in those jar files.

Each time I started tomcat and my jython servlet, the package manager reported about new jar files,  although they were already recognized during previous starts. The package manager creates each time a new file in the cachedir: myjar.pkc, myjar$1.pkc, myjar$2.pkc, ... This happens also to jython.jar (jython.pkc, jython$1.pkc, ...).

I placed then all the jar files in the CLASSPATH before running tomcat and all my servlet scripts worked fine !

What's wrong ?
