http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30803 WebApp classloader fails to load classes from CATALINA_HOME\shared\lib Summary: WebApp classloader fails to load classes from CATALINA_HOME\shared\lib Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.0.19 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the case which my web application is located under CATALINA_HOME\webapps everything works fine. But, when I take the same web application and put it outside the tomcat directory and add a context.xml file to CATALINA_HOME\conf\Engine\Host , this context points to the physical location of the webapp,what happens is that the context is loaded propelrly but when i try to activate my classes located under my webapplication/lib in a jar file which are dependant on the mysql jdbc jars which are located under CATALINA_HOME\shared\lib which is a valid place according to the class loader delegation model I get a ClassNotFoundException regarding the classes located under CATALINA_HOME\shared\lib in jar files --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
