JNI has nothing to do with Tomcat, but rather with the JVM you're using. For Sun-based JVMs, the location of native libraries must be specified via the java.library.path system property. When running on UNIX/Linux platforms, the default value of that property is taken from the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable; for Windows, it comes from PATH. The system property can alternatively be set directly on the launcher command line. Tomcat 6 uses a much simplified classloader hierarchy both to reduce overhead and make certain operations easier, such as direct referencing of Tomcat-specific classes. Changing the classloader hierarchy to be compatible with 5.5 or earlier is a step backwards. > All the instructions for JNI with Tomcat say use > $CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib.

Which is why the servlet spec recommends that webapps be implemented independently, and jars should go into WEB-INF/lib of each webapp, even if that means duplicating them. Since you're insisting on using JNI (thereby guaranteeing your app is not portable), you're stuck with the Java restriction that a native library can only be loaded once, regardless of the number of classloaders that want to use it. I'd still put the common jar in Tomcat's lib directory, since that's simple and straightforward. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
