I tested a very simple servlet application and found that classes in jar-files that
are placed in $CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib works just fine when the application is placed
under the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory.
However, if the application is placed elsewhere on the disc, let us say in
d:/myTomcat5Test/exploded and then a context configuration file is is created, let us
say $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/myTomcat5Test.xml and pointing the docBase
to d:/myTomcat5Test/exploded, then the application will throw a ClassNotFoundException.
This is what the context snippet looks like
*************************
<Context path="/myTomcat5Test" docBase="d:/myTomcat5Test/exploded"
debug="0" privileged="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
prefix="localhost_myTomcat5Test_log." suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>
</Context>
When testing the same application under Tomcat4, everyting works just fine.
Any ideas why folks ?
