Summary: Jar files in the wrong directories. Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0 Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] According to the class loader documentation the common/lib directory should only contain the following jar files. jndi.jar naming.jar resources.jar servlet.jar But when I build a standard Tomcat distribution I get the following. activation.jar crimson.jar This should be in server/lib. jaxp.jar This should be in server/lib. jdbc2_0-stdext.jar jndi.jar jta-spec1_0_1.jar ldap.jar mail.jar naming-common.jar Assuming this is naming.jar naming-resources.jar Assuming this is resources.jar servlet.jar tyrex-0.9.7.0.jar The ones which cause me most problems are crimson.jar and jaxp.jar as they conflict with the XML parser which I am trying to use and the documentation clearly states that Tomcat 4 will not make an XML parser visible to the web application. As this is something that we have a lot of problems with it is very important to us. Could you please move the above jar files into the correct place, especially crimson.jar and jaxp.jar and update the documentation to match what the distribution looks like.
