hi
The error message in tomcat console is

<ERROR> http-8000-Processor22:ConfigSharedMem.setConfigMem() \tomcat5\webapps\sms\smsconfig.xml (The system c
annot find the path specified)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: \tomcat5\webapps\sms\smsconfig.xml (The system cannot find the path specified)

Still hanging on...pls check it out..

Do you set the environment variable JAVA_HOME & CATALINA_HOME properly?

Refer this page... http://www.moreservlets.com/Using-Tomcat-4.html#Development-Environment

I have set path correctly adn other jsp with database works fine. The error in log is : com/eprimes.common cannot be found . Wrong(DBConnect)
com folder has java files and DBConnect,java and DBConnect.class both are placed.

And error on submit of jsp is : cannot find smsconfig.xml which i have placed in root directory and also in web-inf.

Also, i have placed com/eprimes/common folder in web-inf/classes
when i submit login page it cannot get to .class file and report further..instead it sayd file not found..

just try setting classpath to the web-inf/classes folder in your environment variables and let me see the result... also make sure folder name is 'WEB-INF' or 'web-inf' . use WEB-INF...

thks for reply
i did as u told but still its not able to connect to DBConnect.class file...it is instead displaying error file which says file not found..Eventhough i have placed all files and set path for WEB-INF/classes

root cause

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/eprimes/common/DBConnect (wrong name: DBConnect)

Thisis ultimate error i am getting when compiling jsp..pls helpin solving error. I have placed the above package and set path..

with regards

root cause

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
com/eprimes/common/DBConnect (wrong name: DBConnect)

This error comes in one of the following two cases:
- either your Java File name is NOT DBConnect.java (It should be DBConnect.java)
- or the package declaration in the DBConnect is not correct.
