It's just an assumption, but if Tomcat is running, when I save the servlet code in eclipse, eclipse seems to compile automatically. Looks like I need to chat with the eclipse folks. Thanks again for you assistance. Don No problem Don. Tomcat doesn't need to be running either to compile classes from .java code. To compile from jsp, it is common to have Tomcat do the work to compile .jsp to .java and then .java to a .class. I would be curious if you export your war file and then copy it into a separate, stand alone, running Tomcat. You just copy the war into the webapps folder and start up Tomcat. Do this apart from eclipse. -----Original Message----- From: Hedrick, Brooke - 43 Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2012 11:03 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Re: SEVERE: Servlet threw load() exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Thanks, Brooke Hedrick -----Original Message----- From: Don Lawton [dglaw...@verizon.net] Received: Tuesday, 26 Jun 2012, 6:11am To: Tomcat Users List [users@tomcat.apache.org] Subject: Re: SEVERE: Servlet threw load() exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Good morning and thank you for you quick response. This problem occurs while testing within Eclipse - the app is not deployed. The class is listed in the project tree in the 'Java Resources/src' folder. There is nothing in the 'Web Content/WEB-INF/lib' folder and there is no 'Web Content/WEB-INF/classes' folder . Any ideas? Thanks. Don, can you find the .class files? They might be in a bin or classes folder. If eclipse isn't compiling your classes, that would cause the problem.

Sometimes these callstacks can be pretty long and what you are missing is further down in the stacktrace. > Jun 25, 2012 3:56:32 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext > loadOnStartup > SEVERE: Servlet threw load() exception > java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: > org.dgl.HomeFinances.Utilities.Controller.hfController > at > org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1711) > at > org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1556) > at --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org Thanks, Brooke Hedrick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org Thanks, Brooke Hedrick
