Yes you are probably right however do you know where there are any official instructions on setting up JNI and Tomcat ? > Also I would prefer to keep my jars separately > as its easier to keep track of things. > 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.
