Thanks a lot, it works great. Driver is loaded from catalina_base now.

Don't use JDBCRealm. Instead, use DataSourceRealm. It's a long story,
but DataSourceRealm is what you want for production and JDBCRealm is
more of a toy.
They are configured very similarly.

common.loader includes both catalina.base/lib/*.jar and
catalina.home/lib/*.jar, so it doesn't matter whether you put it in
one place of the other.
I prefer using catalina.base for *everything* because it means that
your catalina.home is never polluted with stuff that didn't come from
the original tarball. The only changes I ever make to the extracted-
contents of the tarball are to sometimes change some file permissions.
My recommendation would be to put your JDBC driver library in
catalina.base/lib

Do you have the library in multiple places?
I wouldn't mess-around with catalina.properties unless you absolutely
have to. Every default in there makes a *LOT* of sense.
Hope that helps,-chris

I read the documentation, mentioning JDBC driver needs to be in
catalina_home/lib. I don't understand why as catalina.properties
specify common.loader
as "${catalina.base}/lib","${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar","${catalina.hom

I also tried to modify catalina.properties (to test with
server.loader) but as soon as I have the file in catalina_base (even
empty), the server doesn't start at all
(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina).
Can someone help on this too ?

JDBCRealm driver location 9.0.24
Hello,
I'm trying to distinguish catalina_home from catalina_base and I use a
JDBCRealm and soon will probably use other realms.
I read the documentation, mentioning JDBC driver needs to be in
catalina_home/lib. I don't understand why as catalina.properties
specify common.loader
as "${catalina.base}/lib","${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar","${catalina.hom
e}/lib","${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar"
Can someone explain ?
I also tried to modify catalina.properties (to test with
server.loader) but as soon as I have the file in catalina_base (even
empty), the server doesn't start at all
(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina).
Can someone help on this too ?
thanks
Stephane
