Prior to my involvement, the OpenHouse.class was just in a directory
called "servlets". It was a directory in the users home directory but
outside the public_html directory. That implies some Alias work in
httpd.conf. There are other class files there as well. Each acts as a
standalone app. It's basically cgi written in java. None of the class
files in the servlets directory call any others from the servlets
directory. Just stock java stuff (database connector for MySQL and basic
io).

export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/java/tomcat
export CLASSPATH=$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/servlet-
api.jar:/var/www/servlets/

Not at all. I've been banging my head on what should be a simple setup
and it just isn't working.
