> shared.loader=${catalina.home}/shared/classes,${catalina.home}/shared/*.jar,/var/lib/tomcat6/shared/classes,/var/lib/tomcat6/shared/*.jarThe above fragment of catalina.properties explains the issue that you are observing. The "common.loader", "server.loader" and "shared.loader" values provide configuration for Common, Server and Shared classloader, as better documented in 5.5 (Tomcat 6 docs not mention Server and Shared ones, but they still do exist): http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html#Overview If you look at a fresh copy of Tomcat 6, the values would be: [[[ common.loader=${catalina.base}/lib,${catalina.base}/lib/*.jar,${catalina.home}/lib,${catalina.home}/lib/*.jar server.loader= shared.loader= ]]] The ones that you have in your file are a mix of 5.5 and 6.0 values. ClassLoaderFactory.validateFile() method is called in turn for each value in each of the 3 *.loader options and checks that those values point to an existing place, which is a directory and is readable. In your case, > WARNING: Problem with directory [/usr/share/tomcat6/server/classes], > exists: [false], isDirectory: [false], canRead: [false] it looked for [/usr/share/tomcat6/server/classes] and warned you that the said directory does not exist.
