Kyle,
I agree with you on this.
I'd like to draw a parallel with the classloader and how it treats the classes in the

If I put a class (database driver etc) in the common/lib area tomcat can use it *and*
my web app can.
I'm re-forwarding this message to the list for (hopefully) discussion.

busy. I get very regular personal questions about this topic as people
cull the list archives and find me. Also, I think I've seen two more
bugs on
