Classpath settings changed in new JDeveloper?

Question

In the tutorial for SOAP web services it says the following:
Change the default location to <JDeveloper_home>\soap\webapps\soap\soap\WEB-INF\lib. This puts the file in the classpath automatically, and the server does not need to be stopped and restarted.
This worked fine with RC 2, but now with the new version of JDeveloper the classes cannot be found any more, so you have to specify an additional classpath and manually restart the server to get a web service running.
Who changed the classpath settings and how do I get this hint described in the help back running?
Thanks in advance

Sven, could you elaborate on which tutorial you are working with? There is the one in the JDev reviewers guide, the ones from OC4J, one in the JDeveloper help and also the new one that is just of the OTN home page today.
My guess is that you are trying to run the sample from when the tutorial covered using Apache SOAP 2.2 versus using the built-in OC4J web services that the tutorials now cover. If you want to continue using Apache SOAP 2.2, that directory you refer to will not be created until you deploy the soap.ear file.
If you are using the built-in OC4J in Oracle9i JDeveloper, you should be able to automatically get these directories created by doing the following:
- Exit to DOS
- Start up OC4J
* cd <jdev_home>\j2ee\home
* ..\..\jdk\bin\java -jar oc4j.jar -install
* enter password: welcome (or whatever)
* re-enter password welcome
* ..\..\jdk\bin\java -jar oc4j.jar
- Check out that the Apache SOAP 2.2 servet is working ... go to your browser and type:
http://127.0.0.1/soap/servlet/soaprouter
and you should get something like "Sorry, I don't speak HTTP GET
If that has worked, then the directory structure you refer to should have been created successfully.
