Hi, We have a main webapp (Tomcat\Webapp) that has many modular webapps ( (Tomcat\Webapp\app\) under it that can be removed and added by the user. The main webapp has the service and connectors , but the modular webapps do not need it.
The problem is currently when the main webapp tries to access a jar in the modular webapps lib dir... we have a class not found exception.. that is why we need to load the jars from the modular webapps Web-INF\lib directory.
