Hi all,
This probably a simple question but I cannot find any answer to this in the
FAQ or buglist. Why is it that the required jars for 3rd party JNDI
datasource (such as JDBC pools) have to be placed in
$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib? Why does the Tomcat instance not use
$CATALINA_BASE/[common|shared]/lib instead? I've tried various different
ways but the only one that works is the CATALINA_HOME approach.
>From the JNDI Datasource HOW-TO:
"NOTE: Third Party drivers should be in jarfiles, not zipfiles. Tomcat only
adds $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/*.jar to the classpath.
NOTE: Do not install these jarfiles in your /WEB-INF/lib, or
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext, or anywhere else. You will experience problems if
you install them anyplace other than $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib."
There may be something blindingly obvious that I am missing here but it
seems to mean that you can only have a partially shared tomcat installation.
Resource jars from the different instances have to be placed in the
CATALINA_HOME "common" area somewhat negating the benefits of using a
separate server via CATALINA_BASE.
Cheer,
Chris Carroll
