Because that prevents the webapp from being reloaded without starting Tomcat. It also introduces the distinct possibility of duplicating classes in the classloader hierarchy. Putting anything in CLASSPATH other than the bare minimum Tomcat itself (not any webapp) actually needs is a Really Bad Idea. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
