Hi Rich, I have not tried Tomcat 6, but I have successfully packaged all the CXF jars in the WEB-INF/lib of my war in Tomcat 5.5. My shared/lib is empty. I would suspect that you could do this with Tomcat 6.
So-- it's possible. I don't know if it's the recommended approach, but it's an approach that has worked fine for me thus far. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: Rich.Baldwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 1:49 PM To: cxf-user@incubator.apache.org Subject: cxf deployment to tomcat Looking through the cxf samples and the build.xml files, I noticed that the target tomcat layout is 5.0 or 5.5. At tomcat 6.0, by default the shared/lib goes away unless defined in properties files. So my question concerns classloader issues and servlet engine dependencies. Is the recommended deployment for TC 6 to dump all cxf.home/lib jars into the tomcat/lib directory or keep them in the project WEB-INF/lib or to configure properties such that shared/lib and common/lib are used? Are there jars in cxf.home/lib which MUST be deployed to tomcat/lib for the cxf server stack to work? The tomcat folks have been strongly hinting for years that users avoid adding to tomcat/lib to avoid portability issues, classloader issues, package conflict issues, etc. Tx, Rich
