WL 7 Classpath problem

[Uri Eyal]

HI.

I'm trying to migrate my web application from WL 6.1 to 7.0, on Windows 2000.
I can't seem to get the classpath just right. My application depends on some
JAR files that I place in the system classpath (because their order is important).

When I start the web application, my startup servlet crashes when it trys to use
objects from the external JARs.

The dump looks like this:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

What am I doing wrong?
