If it was me, I would not do this. Your setting yourself up for problems and the benefits from doing this are very minimal. If it was me, the only thing I would put in "lib" are JDBC drivers. That's me though. You're certainly free to do whatever. > > I would like to know the configuration details for the following and where > need to be done ? Not sure what you mean. If you want to share libraries, just drop them in "lib".

By default, subfolders are not added to the class loader. Look at "conf/catalina.properties", specifically the "common.loader" property to see what paths are added or to add more paths. Also, see the following link which explains Tomcat's class loaders in detail. https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html Dan > > > with regards > N.s.Karthik > > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://tomcat.10.n6.nabble.com/New-Library-folder-tp4991580.html > Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
