I do not know. Have you tried it in common/lib?
If it does not work there, you might try two copies, one in WEB-INF/lib and one in server/lib. I have seen cases where that was the only configuration I could find that would work.

The question is - If the class loader loaded the jar, then why would my init app throw a NoClassDefFoundError exception. And not throw it when the jar is in the classpath.

I'm including a snippet from the logs. As you can see, the Classloader loads wmsyslog.jar which contains Syslog.class, but then fails with a NoClassDefFoundError . I have a ServeletContextListener that initializes the system on Context startup. However, if I put jars in the classpath, TC sees the jars and starts up. Does anyone know why it this would happen even thought the class loader has loaded the jar. I'm running TC 4.0.4 on RH Linux 7.3.
