We are running multiple Tomcat 5.5 instances as Windows services. We have some .jar files that are common between the multiple Tomcat instances. We have been searching for a way to configure Tomcat in such a way where we could share the .jar files across those multiple instances.
According to what we understand about the Tomcat class loaders, we could place the .jar files at the "java_home" level. But, this is not advisable since it really is intended to be used for runtime system support. We currently have the .jar files placed in the "shared/lib" path. This allows us access to the .jar files from each application within a given instance of Tomcat. But, we cannot share those .jar files across Tomcat instances. Is there a location where we could store .jar files with the intent of sharing them with multiple running instances of Tomcat and each one's associated application? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Classloader-Question-tf2417987.html#a6740606 Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
