Both. You've made the incorrect assumption that "made visible" means "made visible to web applications", which is incorrect. A classloader makes classes and resources visible to whoever has access to the classloader; webapps do not have access to the Catalina classloader. > If they are "TOTALLY invisible" then your suggestion wouldn't work, as > the CGIServlet is in /server/lib. Tomcat is the one that processes the servlet mappings, so the CGIServlet needs to be visible only to Tomcat, not the rest of the webapp. > So, in summary, you're saying the only way I can get CGIServlet > defined in a single webapp is to leave servlets-cgi.jar in /server/lib > and require an administrator to rename it? Put it in the deployment script for your webapp - with appropriate documentation about what it's doing. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
