Hi list, i am currently facing a problem with the class loaders of tomcat 5.0
i need a no of common jar files to be accessed by multiple web apps which are deployed in the webapps directory of tomcat Problem description: 1. Need to place the common jars(to different web applications) at a central location which can be accessed by different web applications at runtime What i have tried: 1. I have tried placing the jars in the shared/lib and common/lib directories but of no avail : tomcat doesn't start 2. I have put the jars in the root directory of webapps folder : tomcat starts but web app fails to initialize Main Concerns: 1. the jars should be accessible at runtime. 2. is there a way to configure the common and shared classloaders for accessing the jars at runtime
