No, that's where it's supposed to be; one copy for each webapp. I was referring to Tomcat's lib directory, not each webapp's. > I do have shared JARs and class files across web apps. That is most likely the source of your problem. > This is a strongly desired feature as the intention is to > minimize the memory footprint of each web app. Unless you have many thousands of shared classes, your concern is probably unfounded. By introducing such run-time dependencies, you pretty much guarantee that you have to take the whole server down to update a single webapp, and created versioning hell when you need to update a shared library for one particular webapp but not the others. Memory is cheap; don't be afraid of configuring a larger PermGen when needed. > Is there a way to use shared libs/classes and > have the logging output separate? Yes, but it's ugly: each caller of a method in a shared class must pass in a reference to the webapp's logger, rather than letting the shared class have its own. You really don't want to do that, since it complicates and obfuscates the interface. Just stop sharing your classes. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
