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.

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?
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.

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
