Hello, According to the tomcat documentation:
"Normally, when a class loader is asked to load a particular class or resource, it delegates the request to a parent class loader first, and then looks in its own repositories only if the parent class loader(s) cannot find the requested class or resource." >From what I understand from the documentation, the common/lib directory is a parent to the webapp1/lib directory and therefore according to the preceding quote, Tomcat should look first in common/lib and THEN in webapp1/lib. I tried putting two identically-named classes in the common/lib directory and in the webapp1/lib. My jsp uses the class loaded from webapp1/lib and not the class loaded from common/lib. Is this not contradictory??
