    <p>I've been spending hours trying to figure out why I've been getting the <code>java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError</code>, and I've narrowed down the cause to Tomcat's classpath.</p> <p>I used the code below to see what the path variables hold:</p> <pre><code>out.println("Classpath: '" + System.getProperty( "java.class.path" ) + "'" ); out.println("Ext dirs: '" + System.getProperty( "java.ext.dirs" ) + "'" ); out.println("Library path: '" + System.getProperty( "java.library.path" ) + "'" ); out.println("Path separator: '" + System.getProperty( "path.separator" ) + "'" ); </code></pre> <p>And the output is:</p> <pre>Classpath: ':/usr/local/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar' Ext dirs: '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/jre/lib/ext:/usr/java/packages/lib/ext' Library path: '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/jre/lib/i386/server:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/jre/lib/i386:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/jre/../lib/i386:/usr/java/packages/lib/i386:/lib:/usr/lib' Path separator: ':'</pre> <p>As you can see, Classpath does NOT start with "." as it's supposed to, and I believe that's why my program can't find the classes that I import from subdirectories in my webapp.</p> <p>To see where the classpath is set, i did <code>grep -R bootstrap.jar /usr/local/tomcat/</code>, and came accross this: <code>CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH":"$CATALINA_HOME"/bin/bootstrap.jar</code> (in file <code>/usr/local/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh</code>)</p> <p>This makes me believe that for some reason $CLASSPATH is empty here. However, <code>echo $CLASSPATH</code> successfully returns <code>.:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin:/usr/local/tomcat/lib/servlet-api.jar</code></p> <p>Can anybody help pin down the problem here?</p> <hr> <p>EDIT: All my servlet files are in <code>WEB-INF/classes/controllers/</code>, and the libraries i'm trying to load are class files in subdirectories. For example, if <code>ClassName.class</code> is in the WEB-INF/classes/controllers/packagename/ directory, I add <code>package packagename</code> to the start of <code>ClassName.java</code>, and I import it using <code>import packagename.*</code> in <code>someServlet.java</code>. </p> <hr> <p>EDIT2: I have solved my problem. My main issue was that, as written below, not using the correct package names. Also, I was trying to compile from inside the <code>classes/controllers/</code> directory, instead of compiling from <code>classes/</code>. Thank you all for your help!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
