Public bug reported:
Please fix the following line in catalina.properties in all tomcat
source packages.
WRONG:
common.loader=${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/common/classes,${catalina.home}/common/*.jar
CORRECT:
common.loader=${catalina.base}/common/classes,${catalina.base}/common/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar
Following problems with the wrong statement:
1. Odering is wrong: catalina.base should overrule catalina.home here (see
class loader howto below).
2. catalina.home is expanded normally to /usr/share/tomcat7, but there is no
common directory - it is below
/var/lib/tomcat7 (as expanded by catalina.base).
3. ${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar are pointing to non existing
directories. I recommend to skip this part.
For reference see
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html
> The locations searched by this class loader are defined by the common.loader
