I really apologize if this is a silly question.

I have a tomcat server running on a unix machine. I want to use the HTTPClient library. Does it come pre-bundled with tomcat or do you need to install it?

If people say to just add it to your class path. Should I download the source or the binary from here:

http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi

Once downloaded is there a way to auto install it using a .tar.gz as I think I have done this in the past. If not is it just a case of putting the folder on the drive and adding it to the classpath?

TIA

    Just look for httpclient....jar file in the Tomcat directory. If there is none there, then put it inside the lib directory 🙂

    You should download the appropriate jar file. It contains portable library code. Once placed in the classpath, Tomcat will find it. Tomcat directory has a lib subdirectory. This is global classpath part for all web applications.
