Subject: Re: Deploying shared .jar's
My webapps can't see classes in the .jar that is in the shared/lib
folder; I get the ClassNotFound errors when I try.
Check your conf/catalina.properties file and make sure this line is
present:
shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/li
b/*.jar
It's there, but it got me to looking at some other stuff, and I think I
now know what's going on. Can you please tell me if this makes sense:
I have 3 different apps on one machine, each running in its own tomcat
instance using the catalina_base env var. The catalina_base locations
are all outside of catalina_home. What I was hoping was that I could
put my shared jars in catalina_home, but after re-reading the
description of cataline_base (again), it appears that I can't put shared
classes in catalina_home if I'm using the apps from catalina_base.
What I have is this:
Catalina_home =
e:\program files\Apacha\Tomcat5\all the sub-dirs
Catalina_base(s) =
e:\tomcatclients\webapp1
\conf
\webapps
etc
e:\tomcatclients\webapp2
\conf
\webapps
etc
etc.
With the way I read it now, anything I try to put under
catalina_home/shared/lib won't be visible to the webapps in the various
catalina_base folders. Is this correct? If so, it explains my trouble.
If not, then I've got to dig even deeper.
Thanks!
If the line is there (and not commented out), is there possibly an
access permissions problem with the jars you're putting into shared/lib,
especially if running as a service? You might also try turning on
-verbose:class and see what's being loaded from where.
