I was pulling these directories out of the user guide, but I looked in my tomcat lib directory and there are no subdirectories container,apps and common in lib.  Perhaps the user manual I was using is outdated?
 
I also cannot find an xml.jar file anywhere on my machine.  Does this mean that I don't have to worry about this problem?
 
Thanks again

Subject: which directory do the jar files go?

 
If I wanted to place the jar files (mail.jar,activation.jar, etc...) in a folder in Tomcat instead of adding them to the classpath, which folder would I add them to?  In other words, which classloader do I want to load them?
 
Server Classloader:      lib/container
Webapp Classloader:   lib/apps
Common Classloader:  lib/common
 
If you place these in the classpath in startup.sh or startup.bat, then they will be loaded by the Application Classloader, correct? 
 
If you use this method, how can you be sure that the xerces jar file will be found before the xml jar file that Tomcat uses by default?
 
Thanks
