After adding the jdom.jar and making the server.xml changes
you describe, I find that I can compile and display the
following JSP page:
----- test.jsp -----
<%
org.jdom.JDOMException jdomExc = new org.jdom.JDOMException();
%>
This is a test.
--------------------
This seems to indicate that the jdom.jar is available to
the web application. I also tried a simple servlet which was
loaded on startup. It too was successful. It is likely that
your NoClassDefFound is due to a class in a lower classloader
that requires jdom.jar to be visible. Using additionalJars
is equivalent to putting the jar in the WEB-INF/lib of all
web applications. It offers the same visibility.
Cheers,
