Hi,
Thanks for the tip! It turns out that the 'stock' catalina.properties (in
/etc/tomcat6/catalina.properties) was not getting invoked for the CATALINA_BASE
instance. I copied /etc/tomcat6/catalina.properties to
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.properties, and now common.loader is including
$CATALINA_BASE/lib:
common.loader:
${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar
This differs from Tomcat7 which I have also been testing.
Thanks,
Josh
