Tomcat explicitly prevents access from a client to any file under WEB-INF; Tomcat also insists on picking up its jars from WEB-INF/lib, and as far as I know it's not possible to change that. My suggestion would be to write a few lines of code that copy the jar files you need from WEB-INF/lib to the root when the application starts up or when you hit a particular page - that way, at least you only have to upload them once. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
