Yes, but it's usually a bad idea to do so. Note that you would not copy them, you have to move them - you don't want the jars to be in more than one place in a given branch of the classloader tree. By placing jars in a common location, you are likely preventing reload of individual webapps and you creating a versioning dependency nightmare. > 2) What is the significance of $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib & > $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/appName/WEB-INF/lib Read the doc: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
