(Exact error, please, including stack trace.) What classes are trying to reference the JAXWS ones? If it's any handled by the common loader, they will not be able to see classes from the shared loader. Just to verify that the shared loader does work properly, I modified catalina.properties for Tomcat 7.0.5 to use this line: shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared,${catalina.base}/shared/*.jar and moved (not copied) the following files from the examples webapp to it: WEB-INF/classes/CookieExample.class WEB-INF/classes/HelloWorldExample.class WEB-INF/classes/LocalStrings.properties WEB-INF/lib/jstl.jar WEB-INF/lib/standard.jar Cleared out the work and logs directories, started Tomcat, and all examples worked as expected. The first time, I forgot to move LocalStrings.properties, and that resulted in a 500 status, with this exception: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name LocalStrings, locale en_US since the classes processed by the shared loader can't look downwards for the messages file. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
