But have you read the actual documentation? In particular: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html including this rather descriptive diagram: Bootstrap | System | Common / \ Catalina Shared / \ Webapp1 Webapp2 ... > If a jar is in /common/lib/ and a different version of that > jar is in /shared/lib/ what will be the effect? Trouble, usually. Anytime you have the same class files in multiple places in a single path in the hierarchy, you run the risk of conflicts and lots of NCDFE problems. Very, very bad practice. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
