Yes, I don't even have a CLASSPATH environment variable set up on my machine. When I say CLASSPATH, I mean the union of TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib and the app WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib, not an environment var.
Yes, I believe that's right - the problem is with this one Web app. "...Definitely NOT using common/lib, shared/lib, and other shared repositories. Disk space is cheap. Your time diagnosing classloader issues related to the common repositories is expensive..." - so true. Even for JDBC JARs? I've been waffling on this issue for a long time, and your well-reasoned argument has just swayed me. I'll try it and see if that's it.
