I need some help trying to get a shared jar to work in shared/lib. I've searched the archives and found many posts with this issue but no fix.
Win2k Tomcat 4.1.30 JDK 1.42_03 My webapps are based on a framework I developed that is contained within one jar. Up until now I have included this jar with every webapp where it resides in WEB-INF/lib. This works fine but is a pain to support because every change to the framework needs to be pushed to all apps. I would like to share this jar so only one update for all apps is necessary. When moving the jar to shared/lib I get a runtime CNFE on the Login.jsp. The class that can't be found is part of the jar that now resides in shared/lib. Initially I did not have CATALINA_BASE set. I played around with setting CATALINA_BASE and adding the jar to the classpath but nothing seems to work. I then moved the jar to common/lib and the app worked. Tomcat documentation clearly states that shared application code should reside in shared/lib not in common/lib. Should I try to resolve the shared/lib issue or is it OK to leave the jar in common/lib ?
