That's the entire contents of the stdout log file. I don't mind moving the vendor specific jar files to the \common\lib folder, but I would like to make sense of why it happens as well. Note that implementing this product is my first exposure in 15 years of programming to Java / Apache technologies :). Not that they (.NET / IIS vs Java / Apache) are too dissimilar, rather it's the implementation topics like this I struggle with at the moment.

What error? Do you have an associated stack trace? Is there anything in the logs? Note that common/lib is visible not only to the webapp, but also to the container classes. Just speculating, but if the classes in question are used somehow for something like container-managed connection pooling, they must be visible to Tomcat as well as the webapp. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
