In my experience, I have needed to load the class that loads the shared library into the bootstrap classloader. This was with jdk1.3.1. I seem to recall that the shared library can be loaded only 1 time by the JVM, if the class that loads the shared library exists in a webapp it will try to load the DLL everytime the App is deployed, which will result in errors.

Not having done anyting like this before, I'm looking form some advice. Do I keep the DLL in with my webapp, or does it have to go somewhere in Tomcat's directory structure? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jamie Bjoern Abt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 03/14/2003 04:22:34 AM Please respond to "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Loading dll for servlets Hello List, Background: I am extending an existing application to the web. The existing application is written in cobol and compiled to a *.dll on a Windows2000-System. I can load the dll and go the specific entrypoints, so the existing logic doesn't have to be rewritten. My Question: Is it possible to load an dll into the Tomact-Server, so that its functions are always accessible to my servlets? I have a terrible overhead in loading and unloading the dll in every servlet that is accessed. Or does anyone know another way to do it?
