Where to place a common jar file?
Hi;
If I have a jar file used by multiple servlets, should I put it in
${catalina}/common/lib or in ${catalina}/webapps/${each_app}/WEB-INF/lib?
I ask because I have seen various warnings that most jar files need to be
placed in each webapp and not in common (like struts).
??? - thanks - dave
Re: Where to place a common jar file?
Shared jars can be placed in common/lib, but keep in mind that all your
webapps will be locked to the same version of the jar. It's better to
have a copy in the webapp instead where you'll have more version
independence between wepapps.

From the Tomcat documetation:
http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/class-loader-howto.html
* For classes and resources specific to a particular
web application, place unpacked classes and resources
under /WEB-INF/classes of your web application
archive, or place JAR files containing those classes
and resources under /WEB-INF/lib of your web
application archive.
* For classes and resources that must be shared across
all web applications, place unpacked classes and
resources under $CATALINA_BASE/shared/classes, or
place
JAR files containing those classes and resources under
$CATALINA_BASE/shared/lib.
Further on down the page:
Common - This class loader contains additional classes
that are made visible to both Tomcat internal classes
and to all web applications. Normally, application
classes should NOT be placed here.

RE: Where to place a common jar file?
Sorry - you're right on the shared vs common. I put the jdbc drivers in
common/lib as I access them via Tomcat's jndi - so Tomcat uses them. Is that
correct for them
Thanks - dave

RE: Where to place a common jar file?
I think so. If you use global naming resources and a resource link (accessing your jdbc database via jndi), then you might only need to place the jdbc drivers in server/lib. Reading some other online documentation, this appears to be the preferred method. /mde/ --- David Thielen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry - you're right on the shared vs common.
