Re: CLASSPATH and Load-on-startup related issue - bug ??

[Chandra Goliva]

I too noticed this problem.The Tomcat is recognizing the WAR files/ web appl. directory structure autmatically from TOMCAT_HOME/webapps but the archieves or libraries that are put in WEB-INF/lib are not being picked up dynamically.
That's the reason why I am just keeping all the reqd. libraries into /lib
under TOMCAT_HOME.
I appreciate any comments/response on this.

Actually, i believe tomcat does pick up the jars from the WEB-INF/lib directory.  You might want to try looking in the jasper.log file in the logs directory.  It should show something like:

Classpath according to the Servlet Engine is:
<list of jar files in WEB-INF/lib dir>

I'm using tomcat 3.2.1 - not sure if that makes a diff.  Originally i thought i needed to add the jar files to classpath via the wrapper.properties file, but then i found that i didn't need to.

Hope that helps.

Actually , it looks as if tomcat doesn't pick up the jars from the web-inf/lib directory. Once i added the jars explicitly to the classpath is worked. Is this a bug ???

I have an application which is running under tomcat. However i donot use the
2.2 spec directory structure. I have a servlet that is loaded on startup. I
explicitly set the CLASSPATH with all the jars needed.
I am trying to move to the webapps/ directory structure where i can put all
the jars under WEB-INF/lib.
However the startup servlet fails with some class not found exception. Is
the CLASSPATH variable ignored in this case ?? What could be the problem ??
The startup servlet is a class in a jar in WEB-INF/lib.

Thanks
