When I tried the previous way I get class not found exceptions that relate to the classes in the targeted directory. I realize the repository is the best way to go however, I am deploying web apps that have several jars (20 or so) that need to be shared by several web apps. I have not had a chance but if there is a tool that can assist in creating the repository for each jar set, that would be tremendously helpful. I will give it a whirl again and let you know my final outcome.
