Tomcat and JDOM

Question

Hi,
i'm using Tomcat as ym servlet container, and am trying to use a servlet that will create an xml document using JDOM. This is my code
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import org.jdom.Element;
import org.jdom.Document;
import org.jdom.output.XMLOutputter;
public class newCreate_Topic extends HttpServlet {
     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
          throws ServletException, IOException {
     res.setContentType("text/html");
     PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
     String filename = req.getParameter("Topic");
     String title = req.getParameter("Title");
     String module = req.getParameter("Code");
     Element rt = new Element(module);
     Document newxmlfile = new Document(rt);
     Element topic = new Element("Topic");
     rt.addContent(topic);
     rt.addContent(new Element(filename).addContent("text"));
     String lsUniqFileName = "C:/WINDOWS/Profiles/John/Start Menu/Programs/Apache Tomcat 4.0/"+filename+".xml";
     File lofile = new File(lsUniqFileName);
     try {
     FileOutputStream xmloutstream = new FileOutputStream(lofile);
     XMLOutputter outtofile = new XMLOutputter();
     outtofile.output(newxmlfile, xmloutstream);
     xmloutstream.flush();
     xmloutstream.close();
     } catch (IOException e) {}
This compiles fine but when its called from an html file to create the xml file tomcat returns an error that says
NoClassDefFound: org.jdom.Element.
I've added JDOM to my classpath so tomcat can find the class files but why can't it still not find them? Maybe older versions of tomcat can't be used with JDOM?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Make sure you also have your servlet.jar in the classpath.
