Mark, Thanks for the clarification! I still have the same problem with extension not found though. I checked in the code you pointed me to which attributes are required and added them to both shared JAR's MANIFEST.MF and to my Web app's MANIFEST.MF. I placed all shared jars into the $TOMCAT/shared/lib dir. Here is an example of the MANIFEST.MF of a shared jar:
Manifest-Version: 1.0 Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.2 Created-By: yGuard Bytecode Obfuscator 1.0.1 Extension-Name: epcis-apiJAR Specification-Version: 1.0 Implementation-Version: 2726 Implementation-Vendor-Id: com.connecterra And here is how I reference it in the Web App's MANIFEST.MF (an exerpt): Manifest-Version: 1.0 Extension-List: edgeserverDependency epcis-apiDependency jaxb-apiDependency jaxb-implDependency jaxb-libsDependency jaxb-xjcDependency relaxngDatatypeDependency xsdlibDependency edgeserverDependency-Extension-Name: edgeserverJAR edgeserverDependency-Specification-Version: 2.0.0 edgeserverDependency-Implementation-Version: 2741 edgeserverDependency-Implementation-Vendor-Id: com.connecterra epcis-apiDependency-Extension-Name: epcis-apiJAR epcis-apiDependency-Specification-Version: 1.0 epcis-apiDependency-Implementation-Version: 2726 epcis-apiDependency-Implementation-Vendor-Id: com.connecterra .... Yet, when I start TOmcat, I'm getting the following error: Dec 28, 2005 3:26:46 PM org.apache.catalina.util.ExtensionValidator validateManifestResources INFO: ExtensionValidator[/rftagaware-2.0.0-tomcat][Web Application Manifest]: Required extension "epcis-apiJAR" not found. Am I missing something here? Thanks for your help!
