Is there a way to add a directory like "WEB-INF/resources" to the CLASSPATH. I can solve my problem by adding my files below "WEB-INF/classes", but I would prefer not to do that. Regards,Arshad Catalina follows the servlet spec requirements, which say that unpacked classes under WEB-INF/classes, or JAR files under WEB-INF/lib, are the only places a webapp can provide classes (or resources loaded via Class.getResource() type calls).  So, even if we modified it to be non-spec-compliant, your app would still not run in any other container.
