No, they are not .zip files.  They are .jar = files.  Specifically
jndi.jar, ldap.jar and providerutil.jar, which are = provided by
Sun for accessing LDAP databases via = JNDI.    I was able to
get the Tomcat to load these classes but only by = editing the
wrapper.class_path property in the wrapper.properties = config file.
But I was under the impression that simply putting = the Sun jar
files in the WEB-INF/lib directory along with my = servlet.jar file
would be sufficient and eliminate the need to edit = wrapper.properties.

Am I off base here?  Is there some limitation to = having more than one
jar file in WEB-INF/lib?
