> if I put all the jars in every context, how memory consuming is this? since web application's class loader looks at your WEB-INF/classes/ and WEB-INF/lib/*jar first it loads a class per application. So if you have say ten applications and they use an identical class say A that is say 20K your memory consumption is 20K * 10. While if you put it in common/lib or commmon/classes it will only occupy 20K
So you are wasting about 20K * 9 much memory on this particular class. I think that ClassLoader HOWTO on tomcat web site is an excellent resource to look at when you decide where to put your classes and avoid wasting memory. > Would it be better to make an accurate analysis of the classes in > every jar > and put in the CLASSPATH of every application only those classes (or jars) > that are different between the applications? Sure, taht sounds like a good idea. Alex. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
