In theory, common/{classes, lib} should work, but I've never tried it.
shared/{classes, lib} won't work, and WEB-INF/{classes, lib} should fail as
well.
Actually, re-reading closer, you have to put your class in server/{classes,
lib}. Otherwise the classloader won't be able to find the
"FormAuthenticator" base class. My custom Authenticator (installed in
server/lib) is working like a charm :-).

bill,
i have tried placing my source in common/classes, common/lib, shared/lib and
shared/classes with no luck. depending on where i put my class, it was
either in a Jar as part of a package, or just a stand-alone class.
i am really baffled here, it seems like one of those solutions should have
worked. yet, i continue to get the NoClassDefFound error for the catalina
class i am overriding (FormAuthenticator).
i know i am a newbie to tomcat, so perhaps i am missing something simple. if
anyone has had any luck overriding any of the catalina classes in their
webapp and has had some success actually running it, please lend a hand!
thanks!
