It should be noted there are only a couple of places .jar files are
allowed in tomcat:
1. WEB-INF/lib
2. common/lib of the tomcat installation directory
WEB-INF itself is not checked or scanned for .jar files at all. In
addition, any files in the classes directory will override their
equivalent in the lib directory. This occurs regardless of it being in
WEB-INF/classes or common/classes
As to the issue below, are you sure you don't have similar classes (in
name and package) in both common/lib and WEB-INF/lib? Seems like
there's a classloader issue at work here. Take a look at the
classloader howto at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html. It
might offer some ideas.

When I put my webapp.jar file in the WEB-INF directory, it doesn't find the
app. When I exploded it into the classes directory, and associated
subdirectories, they are found fine, but I get this problem (the one below).
This, it turns out, is triggered by the fact I have the webapp.jar file in the
lib directory and all the classes unpacked in the classes directory (both
under WEB-INF, of course). Getting rid of the webapp.jar file in the lib
directory solves the problem below, but now tomcat won't use that the jar
file in the lib directory, even though when it's unpacked in the classes
directory, he seems perfectly happy. Is there some magic I need for tomcat
to use .jar files in the WEB-INF/lib directory, like an entry in web.xml or
server.xml?

INFO: Reloading this Context has started
over and over in the log files. Anyone know what's causing this? I
thought maybe tomcat was restarting, but the PID doesn't change. It seems
to work, but it's filling up my log files.
TIA
