I could able to do it. But it is working for the files under the Tomcat
Home Directory. Is it possible to put a directory outside the Tomcat and
give it here under common.loader. I mean I will put a directory in
c:\jars. I want this to be given for common.loader=c:/jars/*jar. It is
not working for me If I give like this. Any reason you know?
Thankas

Subject: Re: Application Level Classpath Setting
AFAIK - Tomcat does not care about the system classpath. It picks up
its classpath from catalina.sh ->setclasspath.sh (TC 4.x)
In TC 5.x (this too FYI does not care abt the system classpath, but)
you can modify the following lines in catalina.properties file under
the conf dir ...
#
#
# List of comma-separated paths defining the contents of the "common"
# classloader. Prefixes should be used to define what is the repository
type.
# Path may be relative to the CATALINA_HOME or CATALINA_BASE path or
absolute.
# If left as blank,the JVM system loader will be used as Catalina's
"common"
# loader.
# Examples:
# "foo": Add this folder as a class repository
# "foo/*.jar": Add all the JARs of the specified folder as class
# repositories
# "foo/bar.jar": Add bar.jar as a class repository
common.loader=${catalina.home}/common/classes,${catalina.home}/common/i1
8n/*.jar,${catalina.home}/common/endorsed/*.jar,${catalina.home}/common/
lib/*.jar
#
# List of comma-separated paths defining the contents of the "server"
# classloader. Prefixes should be used to define what is the repository
type.
# Path may be relative to the CATALINA_HOME or CATALINA_BASE path or
absolute.
# If left as blank, the "common" loader will be used as Catalina's

# loader.

# repositories
# "foo/bar.jar": Add bar.jar as a class repository
server.loader=${catalina.home}/server/classes,${catalina.home}/server/li
b/*.jar
#
# List of comma-separated paths defining the contents of the "shared"
# classloader. Prefixes should be used to define what is the repository
type.
# Path may be relative to the CATALINA_BASE path or absolute. If left as
