Re: What order are jars used in the WARs lib directory?
From: Tim Funk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 5:43 PM From the spec: The web application classloader must load classes from the WEB-INF/ classes directory first, and then from library JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory. So if you have patches - don't JAR them. Since the spec doesn't specify JAR order, it may be different between containers, containers version, or even OS's. Right, it's implementation dependent :-/ I could also make my own jar, but I was just curious if they had something official. Thanx!

What order are jars used in the WARs lib directory?
If I have jars that I'd like to put in to the WARs lib directory (or, say, shared/lib), is there any way I can, perhaps, name them to guarantee use order? For example, say I have: mystuff.jar and mystuff_patch.jar If I have CLASSPATH=mystuff_patch.jar:mystuff.jar, then, ordinarily, Java will find classes and use the classes within mystuff_patch.jar before it finds the identically named ones in mystuff.jar. So, is there any way to determine what this order is in the Tomcat lib directories?? Thanx!
