Thanks Graeme
I can see in catalina.properties in my installation that there is:
common.loader=${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar
And on an earlier version of Tomcat I have:
common.loader=${catalina.home}/common/classes,${catalina.home}/common/i18n/*
.jar,${catalina.home}/common/endorsed/*.jar,${catalina.home}/common/lib/*.ja
r
So we could at least be performing a check to see if the intended location
is included there. Or maybe even determining the location from that.
Actually maybe that is a better option for you than symlink-ing? You could
try adding the directory and adding it to that path/jar path and see if it
is picked up?
