So, your server admin needs it to be in common/lib and your client needs it to be in WEB-INF/lib? Who does the server admin work for? Sounds like there's a conflict between the client spec and the server system provided - not your application. Jars in WEB-INF/lib should be loaded first, as servlet containers use an inverted classloader hierarchy. Having said that, allowing duplicate jar files in the container usually ends in disaster, try not to do it. is it possible to persuade the server admin to upgrade the javamail install? p > So I would like to know if there is any way to choose which libraries to > use.
