Does anyone know how the class loader handles jar files in Server/lib and webapps/app/WEB-INF/lib.
The situation I have encountered is I have multiple applications that run on a single instance of tomcat. I have a jar file with common classes that I put on tomcat/server/lib. The classes are all in a package com.mbresearch.xxx I also have many jar files that go in each application some are contained packages com.mbresearch.yyy where xxx and yyy stand for a set of different packages but do not overlap. As long as one jar is in tomcat/server/lib - the loader seems to expect all classes to be in tomcat/server/lib and won't find them if they are in webapps/app/WEB-INF/lib. Is this behaviour to be expected? I must be doing something wrong- else the loader would look to find all com.aaa packages in the server/lib and no apps would work. Does anyone understand how this should work? Thanks in advance Ray madigan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
