Hi :-) when I use jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b1
(standalone, JDK1.3, winnt40), I found:
* when I put MyHelper.jar in .../WEB-INF/lib, it works.
* when I put MyHelper.jar in:
TOMCAT_HOME/lib
TOMCAT_HOME/lib/shared
TOMCAT_HOME/classes
from my work, it doesn't work.
* and in tomcat-dev List, I found emails which discuss
about the following :
- 'TOMCAT_HOME/lib/shared' directory and
'TOMCAT_HOME/lib/apps' directory
- modifing main.java of TC
so I Just Guess perhaps with the new version of TC,
perhaps we will put MyHelper.jar in
TOMCAT_HOME/lib/apps: all the jar files in this folder
can be used by all webapps(Only shared by all webapps).
and I also have a question:
from my work, I guess with jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b1
(standalone, JDK1.3, winnt40), CLASSPATH is
"disabled", am I right? thanks in advance!
