Hey All

We are about to re-install CF on servers and i was trying to figure
out whats the best way to config 3rd party JAR files ? We run a multi-
instance enterprise installation and as far as i know there are number
of ways to get a jar file into the classpath.

1. drop into WEB-INF\lib folder
2. drop into WEB-INF\cfusion\lib folder
3. edit the java.class.path property in the <JRUN_HOME>\bin\jvm.config
file.
4. edit web.xml and change the cf.class.path variable
5. put the file into the <JRE_HOME>\lib\ext folder (usually only when
theres a conflict with built in cf libraries ill do this)
6. Use the classloader method (but this means code changes to existing
apps)

Im thinking that i can set up on my server a 'C:\thirdy_party_apps\'
and then put each JAR i need into this folder. This would mean i only
have to put 1 entry into the cf.class.path setting in web.xml.

Sometimes i have separate instances that use the same JAR, so id like
an external folder if possible rather than copying files into each
instance.

Im just a little confused about the order that the server does the
classpath lookups in I *think* it does it in this order
cf.class.path (which includes the web-inf sub folders)
java.class.path (defined in jvm.config)
<JRE_HOME>\lib\ext

Can someone confirm this ? I cant find much in the docs on it. Any
thoughts on this setup ?

Pat
