hi, By http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html Shared is the parent classloader of webapp.
AFAIK the consequence of this in that a class loaded from webapp classloader can see other classes (whenever they come from shared, webapp or common), but the reverse is not true, and could lead to ClassNotDef or ClassNotFound exeption unless some classloader hack are performed ...

From what I've read in the Tomcat 5.5 docs, I should be able to deploy a .jar that is shared across multiple webapps on Windows by putting it in the (tomcat)/shared/lib folder, but I've never gotten that to work. I've always had to put that jar in the web-inf/lib folder of each of the webapps that need it, in order for them to be able to use it. Why is that? Is there something I'm missing about deploying shared jars? The wasted disk space doesn't matter, but the hassle of putting the same .jar file in multiple different places does... Any help or explanations would be appreciated!
