We're currently upgrading from 3.1.1 to 3.2.1. In the existing 3.1.1 dist (please keep in mind that I inherited this from another group) there is a directory called /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/classes which contains the org.apache.tomcat, org.apache.jasper and javax.servlet packages.
According to the documentation, the classes directory is meant for additional classes we'd like loaded along with Tomcat. However, these three packages -- at least to my understanding -- should automatically be loaded when Tomcat starts up, as they should be part of the standard tomcat dist and the JDK 1.2.
So, question 1: Do those packages need to be in the classes directory for 3.2.1 or are they just extra fluff?
Question 2: Did those classes need to be in there for 3.1.1? Why?
Thanks a ton!
