You're right. I debated whether or not there was an argument that I
should always use the same jars for each project so it didn't matter,
but then I decided that there was bound to be some case where that
wouldn't work for some unforeseen reason. Its best to keep each webapp
independent. There are other solutions to the time of uploads.
Thanks

Subject: Tomcat 6 and placing jars in $CATALINA_HOME/lib
Is there any reason why these jars (and their dependencies)
should not be placed in $CATALINA_HOME/lib?
The primary reason not to lump everything in one basket is webapp
independence, which the servlet spec encourages. If you do put commonly
used jars in the lib directory, you're tying all your webapps to one
instance of those particular classes. This can create problems with
versioning, should some of your apps migrate to newer levels of the
common libraries, and with reloading webapps, since those libraries may
retain references somewhere to objects of the webapp.
Given the price of disk and memory these days, along with automated
scripts to build your .war files, the only thing you'd really save on is
time to transfer an updated webapp. Is that really a dominant factor,
given the drawbacks?
