Cool ! >Honestly, CATALINA_BASE is probably much better, > since it won't interfere with other applications that might not need the > driver, or might require a different version, etc. Honestly I've never needed to use CATALINA_BASE But I 've a question every instance uses only its CATALINA_BASE directories or there is any kind of delegation hierachy for libraries ? For example,if my webapp doesn't find a jar file on $CATALINA_BASE/lib , doest it search on $CATALINA_HOME/lib ?
