Really? Tomcat 6.0 replaced the server/lib/, shared/lib/, and common/lib/ directories in favor of a single, unified lib/ directory. That doesn't strike you as an important change? > Thanks for the answer.

There is a chicken-and-egg problem with the context ClassLoader which makes it difficult for the container to set up the context using Java classes that are hosted from within that application. Anything the driver depends upon also needs to be available to the container's ClassLoader. > Agreed to leave all else as is, the hard link solution solves the > problem of multiple copies nicely.

If you copy a new file over a hard link, you un-couple it from the rest of the series of hard links. If you do the same with symlinks, the result is probably more what you were expecting. There are other disadvantages with hard links including not really knowing that it's a link (symlinks are obvious) and they can't span across filesystems. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJVbvd8AAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYgLEQAKST0dzmy9f7esRk8SvAxtjY 2nqc+SIRe32hdO9C0iIUY+pOTgDHKvi+PEXV7FCC6CXRRKhjZrB19iHMJaz3jZPY RElw58YAuI1pLMVXV6qMnJ4PmIHbwu5Uy1fDs0XBlNA8nZe7rxbnS6snYu3MqjPt WP5udl9DCB5SBkl99nHbH5At1qkOfOmhBycfvCIqDZlkA9QxA+HFh/Rq+enJryMK lH0lO1JbmdY6fRrOA4cppkyp79qpUpBA5hEMsyrrvDF34wENFLjPeZKD8Rz+X6v6 C+MRB04z8GapYpasl+KemnPaW2oLosaCjulMjHVIWCP4KxTKGveAC+cEyCwnuTRW MXZyVhp/uycHf/WgPMITyBtkj+vIt/U5kalX87hDzxaEq3yHAaa7Yqkdwqi9W1AZ 3XttVcz33vmTnRKykSNPK4IEPuhGtjNup6qOdIP9P0onJOk6gZ3KY7SL0T7Y8jJA lIU4Exmjv8ZC5tgDenVexehtCGVjqZJiOFNGEkW3W1Jzn7QhTZhKbYB7POxB9WFq Z0n5nxGppvzhGXf54nFqpSHEn4XxCmeVCLBIheRw0AseUW0X7qVZ+F4NVl+6Llwo wHnd1NlRO4X9AA/GylVDb5N017SFHtJ/53M2roUK8itV8aECU4xVKguTndykUnYR 8ucTDAUSB+LeOEbDUmaJ =Hq/T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
