So the problem was that the Struts example wouldn't load in Tomcat4.0 B7
because it didn't have a parser or the jaxp.jar. Someone suggested putting
a parser and jaxp.jar in the CATALINA_HOME/lib directory. This worked for
me. But a post from the tomcat list suggested putting them in the
web-inf/lib directory. Indeed this latter method should work and seems a
better solution to me:
Craig McClanahan posts:
the order in which Tomcat 4 looks for classes to load.
- /WEB-INF/classes
- /WEB-INF/lib (undefined order of JAR files)
- $CATALINA_HOME/classes
- $CATALINA_HOME/lib (undefined order of JAR files)
- $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes
- $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib (undefined order of JAR files)
So I put crimson.jar & JAXP in the WEB-INF/lib directory. It's not loading
properly, it throws a sealing violation. The classloader isn't having it.
Not sure why this is happening. Anyone?

Please respond to

This is more a question for the Tomcat list, but since it came up below,
what is the best practice for including needed libraries and
implementations (such as crimson.jar & jaxp.jar) in Catalina? While Ian's
suggestion below moves these from /jasper to /lib, I found the struts
example also works in B7 by putting jaxp and crimson in /common/lib and
leaving them in jasper. Can someone point me to where I can discern the
differences between the different lib directories in Catalina?
This has no doubt come up before, sorry for repetition.
