Hi everybody,

Question: if you cannot place the JDBC driver jars in
CATALINA_HOME/commons/lib, where can you put them?

Here is the context of my question:

* A production environment where each application runs in a separate
instance of Tomcat
* Each application has it's own $CATALINA_BASE and pointing to same
$CATALINA_HOME.
* OS is RH Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
* Tomcat 5.5.* is used as bundled by RH.

Last but not least:
* Deploying the JDCB drivers used by each applications to
$CATALINA_HOME/commons/lib is not possible.

So my question is, what is the better alternative:

1) Place the JDBC jars in $CATALINA_BASE/jdbc and modify the start-up
script to include these jars on the CLASSPATH?
2) Deploy the JDBC jars in the WAR file (e.g. WEB-INF/lib/jdbc) and
modify the start-up script to include these jar on the CLASSPATH?
3) Deploy the JDBC jars and commons-dbcp.jar in the WAR in WEB-INF/lib?
4) other?

This is a real problem we're faced with and I would really appreciate
some input on the best possible alternative.

Thanks,

Florian
