According to step #4, you need to put them into "$CATALINA_HOME/lib", and as you indicated if they are in both "$CATALINA_HOME/lib" and the web application's lib directory then you'll get an error. https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html#JavaMail_Sessions > > The smart thing would be to put them in tomcat/lib, but I have other web > applications running on the system without using JNDI, that have their own > versions of mail and activation.

Based on what you reported above and by what is documented, if you add them to "$CATALINA_HOME/lib" and a web application ships with them then you'll get an error. You would want to add it to "$CATALINA_HOME/lib" and remove it from your applications. If you do that, it should work so long as your applications are compatible with the version you put in "$CATALINA_HOME/lib". Dan > > I am defining the JNDI values inside of the application's context.
