Is the size of the deployment actually a problem for you, or are you trying to tidy up? Unless the size of the deployment is really, genuinely a problem, I'd keep the jars in each application. Yes, it costs a little disk space. Yet, it costs a little memory. It will save you many headaches when one application's library version changes - you will be able to redeploy that single application without worrying about versioning of the other libraries. If the size of the deployment is really a problem, read http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html and choose whether you want to put your jars in $CATALINA_HOME/lib. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
