I am currently having problems working out how best to deploy 3rd party jars
in a J2EE app. I have a system that works, but it seems a bit arbitrary - perhaps
because that is just the way things are - perhaps because I have missed
something. Here is what I do:
JBoss
=====
JDBC driver in jboss/lib/ext. That looks good to me. The driver used has
nothing to do with my EJB. Xerces.jar also in jboss/lib/ext. Well possibly
someone might want to swap the XML parser. OTOH I could view Xerces as
an essential part of my EJB and prefer to distribute it in an EAR file, but
I am not sure it is possible.
Tomcat
======
Saxon.jar slots nicely into position in the WAR file in WEB-INF/lib. The use
of Saxon in my JSP seems to me to be pretty much the same as Xerces in
the EJB. But seems to be required to take a very different role in the
deployment procedure
Sorry if this is all a bit stream-of-consciousness but I don't really know
what precise question to ask. All comments or pointers to tutorials
very welcome. Many thanks.
