You are violating the servlet spec. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Classes for a webapp need to be in WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib. Tomcat does allow for webapps to share classes via the $CATALINA_HOME/shared and $CATALINA_HOME/common directories but you'll need to see the classloader docs on any restrictions.

I'm writing a web application (a portal app, to be specific) that needs to be able to load a class (using Class.forName(...)) that was deployed in a different web application from the one I am developing. I've deployed the target web app containing the class I want to load, but whenever I call Class.forName(), I get a "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException". Is there anything special I need to do if I want to load this class? It appears it is a classloader issue, but I don't know enough to determine what the problem is. Any help is greatly appreciated!
