What is the difference between the server/lib and shared directories as far as the class loaders are concerned?
Background: ----------- I was having trouble with CGI scripts, so I wanted to creat a new CGIServlet to run some tests. To start the process, I copied source of the tomcat CGIServlet file into my own package structure. Once I got this working I would alter that code and try to see why the CGI scripts where not executing correctly. Part I Don't Understand: --------------- I put my jar file containing the CGIServlet into the server/lib directory (where the tomcat CGIServlet resides). This, however, would not start up and gave me ClassNotFound exceptions. However, when I moved my jar to the shared directory, everything seems to work. Question: --------- I thought everything had access to things in the server/lib directory. What is going on here?
