Dear (Debian) Java Developers, according to the Debian Java policy, JAR files used by a Java application (here: Java web application) must reside in /usr/share/java. If I establish soft links in the directory <mywebapp>/WEB-INF/lib and start "mywebapp", I always get an InvalidArgumentException which tells me something about an invalid or unparseable TLD within the linked JAR file(s). This doesn't occur at all when I use physically present JAR files within the WEB-INF/lib directory.
My environment is a testing/unstable one, using the latest kernel (2.4.20-5), Catalina (4.1.18-1) and Blackdown Java (1.4.0.99beta). But I had this problem on each earlier version within the last 6 months, therefore I don't think that the problem is based on the unstable versions of the software... I know that there is a directory (/usr/share/java/webapps) which is designed to take the WAR files shared for each servlet runner, but what about a webapp which is not distributed as such a WAR file? And why doesn't Tomcat itself suffer from this problem (i.e. if I link a JAR file into Tomcat's common/lib directory, everything works fine)?
