Hello, I just posted a very similar question some time ago, but got no answer until now. see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=106337028016813&w=2 I use Tomcat 4.1.27. My question was, if Tomcat ClassLoaders can evaluate the CLASS-PATH attribute set in the manifest of a jar file, to reference external jar files. In the meantime I saw that the common class loader (and also server and shared) can interprete the CLASS-PATH variable of the Manifest file of a jar file. Unfortunately it seems not to work if I put a jar file, that references an external jar file by means of the CLASS-PATH variable in the Manifest, in the WEB-INF/lib of my WAR file. Should this be possible, or not ? Are there any other methods (do I use the wrong one)? As I understood the servlet spec 2.3 chapter 9.7.1 it should be possible by means of the CLASS-PATH attribute: Snippet from the servlet spec 2.3 chapter 9.7.1 "WebContainers should be able to recognize declared dependencies expressed in the manifest entry of any of the library JARs under the WEB-INF/lib entry in a WAR" So the question is very urgent to me. Please help me. Cheers Karin
