The J2EE 1.4 Library Container includes (amongst others) mail.jar. Tomcat 5.5 doesn’t include it in any of it’s lib directories. So when I deploy my web project, I endup with a class not found exception when looking for javax.mail.MessagingException.
So, as a work around, I have to create a UserLibrary consisting of the mail.jar file, and include it in my project to get it included in the deployment.
How is it supposed to work?

I think the confusion is stemming from the issue that Tomcat is not a full J2EE or JEE container, it’s a Servlet container only. So if you are developing full J2EE/JEE applications you need to use a full EE server lik JBoss, Sun App Server, Glassfish, etc. otherwise you will need to deploy mail.jar and activation.jar (used by mail) to Tomcat’s common/lib directory yourself.Using a UserLibrary with the two JARs in it is actually a great workaround idea, just go to your project properties then MyEclipse > Web > Deployment and make sure you setup the deployment rules to deploy that User Library for you.
