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 and Christoph I'm already using a servlet to access the jar files, but it's the servlet Sun provides to support versioning and jardiff web start protocols. I'd rather not touch it tought... Peter, can you elaborate a bit more on your solution? I'm not very familiar with web applications, so far I've developed only Swing clients. I guess I have to use a listener in order to do something on startup. How do I get the right folder thought? Is there a environment variable I can read?
