Then I would highly recommend a persistent backend like a Db instead of playing with the classpath. Just my opinion.

Guru,
I need to do this so that I can deliver the application following my
company's standard format.  The tomcat application is just a small part of
what is being delivered and we like to put all configuration information in
a standard place for all apps. [please don't ask for any more explanation
that this just accept the fact that I need to do it] *8-)

BTW: I have just gone ahead and modified the Catalina.sh (I would rather
have some other way but at least it works...).

Thanks,
Stuart

why are you doing this ? just copy the jars to the lib directory inside WEB-INF .. and restart the app ... or if this spans into multiple application then ... put them in the tomcat/common/bin directory ...

Hi,
Please scratch that last question. I still do not know what the problem is but I think I will just go with modifying Catalina.sh. Actually all I need
to do is add to the tomcat classpath so that my web applications can find
things in different locations.

Is there are better way than hacking the .sh file (jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28)?

Thanks,

Stuart
