hihi all, i've read the class loader how-to and also searched the archives but haven't found any answers for my current problem -- which is that my application-specific jars (under WEB-INF/lib) don't seem to get loaded at all.
for instance, i have ojdbc14.jar (Oracle JDBC API) under WEB-INF/lib but i get ClassDefNotFoundExceptions when my app is trying to establish its connection pool. but when i place the ojdbc14.jar under common/lib my app can establish the connection pool. there are other jars in my WEB-INF/lib like common-beanutils.jar and such that are also not being loaded (i get same run-time errors when accessing jsps in my app). does anyone have any suggestion as to why my WEB-INF/lib folder seems to be ignored? the jars in WEB-INF/lib got loaded fine in Tomcat 4.1.29 and i'm in the process of migrating my web app to Tomcat 5.5.9. thanks in advance, woodchuck __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
