After that, this occurs, without precondition (checked versions 5.5.26): set CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar Yes, it's silly that tools.jar is included in the CLASSPATH, but the upshot is that any pre-set CLASSPATH is killed.

The OP should continue to run what's working, with the jars duplicated in each webapp's WEB-INF/lib directory. Anything else is extremely problematic. Yeah, I once tried having a single lib location for the common jars, and while I could get it working, it was quite fragile, and I ended up giving each webapp its own copy of the libraries in question. It's been much more robust since then. D - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

The corresponding Windows script only sets CLASSPATH if running with a JDK and it can find tools.jar (which is odd, since Tomcat no longer uses javac). Under any other conditions (such as running with a JRE), the CLASSPATH is left untouched. Setting CLASSPATH globally (which a quicktime install does) can be disastrous for other programs, if not Tomcat; that environment variable has long outlived its usefulness. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

It really shouldn't interfere: it should actually have no effect at all. startup.sh calls catalina.sh which calls setclasspath.sh and at the beginning of that script is # First clear out the user classpath CLASSPATH= Now, of course, anyone can modify these scripts and totally screw everything up, but simply setting the CLASSPATH environment variable at the command prompt will have no effect on Tomcat. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkomi8AACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAEhgCfVJMyczZ4XigChldyN/mNP8td xqMAoLLTn3NriBHg/6gz83vaKFBdsVZm =b4UO -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

RE: How to reference Shared Libraries with TOMCAT
If you have multiple tomcats and multiple applications then you have to put the jars on a separate location and add these in class path environment before starting any of the tomcat, it will work for more then one tomcats and more then one applications, thanks.

Why? You will make a maintenance nightmare for yourself when the version of a jar changes for one application, but another application still needs the old version. > How can I do this.
