Hey, this list is what its members make of it. If [all of] you want to
discuss simple stuff, so be it. But it's much more interesting when
people ask interesting questions instead of things like "how do I
install Java?", so I welcome questions whose answers result in people
learning things they can't learn from copying an example from a tutorial.

You don't need to do anything special at all. The webapp's classloader
will fetch the appropriate class from wherever it is stored -- whether
it be in a JAR in your WEB-INF/lib directory or as a .class file in your
WEB-INF/classes hierarchy.

Nope. You can just use the JAR file as a compile-time dependency for
your filter (or the entire webapp if you prefer).

%CLASSPATH%;C:\java1.5\lib\tools.jar;C:\java1.5\jre1.5\lib\jsse.jar;C:\Tomcat5\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;C:\Tomcat5\common\lib\commons-el.jar

Time to move to ant, baby. Once you get over the fact that it's just
/not/ 'make', you'll learn to love it.

| Do I just add the jar in question to the classpath above ?

Yup.
