That's probably the worst place to put it, according to the ClassLoader HOWTO:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader-howto.html
I would try $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib or better yet $CATALINA_HOME/lib.
The former if ALL web applications PLUS Tomcat internals need access, the latter if just web applications need access.

I'm not sure if that's the *best* place for it but I thought that was one of the two places where you can put jars and have them visible to all the servlets that might need them.

Subject: Re: Weird Problems installing servlets in Tomcat
Where is commons-fileupload-1.0.jar located? Is it in the correct location for the ClassLoader to find it?

Tomcat has suddenly started behaving rather strangely on our Linux server. I was hoping someone here could give me some insight into the reasons and some suggestions for resolving the problem. We are running Tomcat 4.1.24 on a Linux Mandrake 9.1 box.
I wrote a servlet on the weekend which worked on my Windows XP machine but misbehaved slightly on the Linux server when installed there. Yesterday, I figured out what the problem was and revised the servlet. The revised version worked in Windows so I tried to install it in Linux. That's when the weirdness started: I can't install the WAR file in Tomcat. It always fails on the same error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUpload.setSizeMax(I)V I checked the Javadocs and found that the setSizeMax() method is part of the class FileUploadBase, not FileUpload, so I immediately suspected that the Linux box had an older version of the commons fileupload jar, which only went to version 1.0 at the end of June. I searched the Linux box and found commons-fileupload.jar, which is NOT the current version, and also found commons-fileupload-1.0.jar which IS the current version. I deleted the old one and now the only version of the jar on the server is commons-fileupload-1.0.jar.
I tried installing the WAR file again but get the same error. I even tried installing a newer version of a different WAR file that doesn't do file uploads and IT failed on the same error. What is going on here?
I took a peek inside the commons-fileupload-1.0.jar and got this, which looks just fine to me: jar tvf commons-fileupload-1.0.jar | more 0 Wed Jun 25 23:12:04 EDT 2003 META-INF/ 420 Wed Jun 25 23:12:04 EDT 2003 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF 0 Wed Jun 25 23:11:58 EDT 2003 org/ 0 Wed Jun 25 23:11:58 EDT 2003 org/apache/ 0 Wed Jun 25 23:11:58 EDT 2003 org/apache/commons/ 0 Wed Jun 25 23:11:58 EDT 2003 org/apache/commons/fileupload/ 6020 Wed Jun 25 23:11:58 EDT 2003 org/apache/commons/fileupload/DefaultFileItem.class 1541 Wed Jun 25 23:11:58 EDT 2003 org/apache/commons/fileupload/DefaultFileItemFactory.class 1547 Wed Jun 25 23:11:58 EDT 2003 org/apache/commons/fileupload/DeferredFileOutputStream.class 2159 Wed Jun 25 23:11:58 EDT 2003 org/apache/commons/fileupload/DiskFileUpload.class 792 Wed Jun 25 23:11:58 EDT 2003 org/apache/commons/fileupload/FileItem.class 262 Wed Jun 25 23:11:58 EDT 2003 org/apache/commons/fileupload/FileItemFactory.class 811 Wed Jun 25 23:11:58 EDT 2003 org/apache/commons/fileupload/FileUpload.class 672 Wed Jun 25 23:11:58 EDT 2003
