my understanding comes from this book i got: 'common is responsible for
classes that are used by Tomcat and publicly available to all Web
apps'. shared is like common, except that 'developers can place their
own classes and JAR files into the shared class loader domain'.
developers shouldn't put anything into common. this is from
Professional Apache Tomcat 5 from Wrox. for what it's worth...ron
