Mak, Could you not refactor your build.xml so that the jar is created before you build the webapp? As an example, my build file targets go something like this: "get src" "build classes" [depends: "get src"] "build jar" [depends: "build classes"] "get webapp src" "get jar" [depends: "build jar"] "build webapp" [depends: "get webapp src", "get jar"] "war webapp" [depends: "build webapp"] The "build webapp" target grabs the webapp structure, inserts the WEB-INF/lib directory, inserts the latest possible version of the jar into the new directory. Incidentally, it seems to me that the problems you were having were because the structure of your deployed war file did not match the structure of the unpacked war: by copying WEB-INF/lib into the unpacked war, you broke the correlation. I don't know it that's correct, but it (kind of) makes sense to me... ;) > > I may be getting out of context here, but I'm on this > track because I was unable to include these jars in my > tomcat classpath.
