OK. Thank you for the reference to the docs. I have read the section. This brings up two new questions.
I am redeploying my application for testing by removing the old instance and then deploying again via Tomcat 4.1.29 manager webapp. On Windows, Tomcat apparently leaves the struts.jar file open, blocking deletion of the WEB-INF/lib directory and subsequent automatic deployment of my changed war file. Is there a workaround for this? Is there a better way of redeploying in the NT environment? Tomcat is running on a separate machine from my development environment. While I do not care about the disk space used for the storage of war files, I am concerned about the RAM consumed if each webapp on the server brings multiple copies of the same libraries into memory. If I do not share the jar files among the webapps, isn't this what will happen?

Don't do that. Really... Disk space is cheap, and deployment is SO much easier when each webapp is a self-contained entity. Besides, it's not supported. Scroll down to section 5.5 on this page: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/configuration.html And read the stuff in the bright blue box. -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
