Hi list,
i am currently facing a problem with the class loaders of tomcat 5.0
i need a no of common jar files to be accessed by multiple web apps which
are deployed in the webapps directory of tomcat
Problem description:
1. Need to place the common jars(to different web applications) at a central
location which can be accessed by different web applications at runtime
What i have tried:
1. I have tried placing the jars in the shared/lib and common/lib
directories but of no avail : tomcat doesn't start
common/lib should work "out of the box". What do you mean by "tomcat
doesn't start"? Can you post the very first error message/stack trace
from your catalina.out log file?
2. I have put the jars in the root directory of webapps folder : tomcat
starts but web app fails to initialize
root directory of webapps folder? Could you write this out as a path so
we can see what you mean? I ask, because as I read it you are placing
the jars in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT. That will not work -- for the
ROOT webapp, they need to be in $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib.
Main Concerns:
1. the jars should be accessible at runtime.
2. is there a way to configure the common and shared classloaders for
accessing the jars at runtime
