Out of curiosity, couldn't you use the information in RUNNING.txt under "Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat Instances" to meet your requirements?
. . . just a thought. /mde/ ----- Original Message ---- From: frank <fr...@cloud.com> Hi Experts: I have read "class not found" in FAQ and "class loader howto" of tomcat6, unfortunately, they don't resolve my problem. I set CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME to my directory like: CATALINA_BASE=/usr/share/mydir CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/mydir then link subdirs (conf/, bin/ ...)of tomcat6 to $CATALINA_HOME, the "lib/" points to /usr/share/tomcat6/lib. IMO, tomcat6-servlet-2.5-api.jar, tomcat6-jsp-2.1-api-6.0.26.jar, tomcat6-el-2.1-api-6.0.26.jar should be automatically be found since they are located at $CATALINA_HOME/lib/. In fact this doesn't work, I got errors (see paste at bottom). However, if I added full path of these JARs to classpath, things worked. I am puzzled, why common class loader doesn't get these files? thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
