The README files in the lib, lib/common and lib/shared directories are
ambiguous. They certainly give the impression that lib still has the
same function as lib/common, there is no lib/container directory, and
lib/README is downright confusing. A bit of m2 seems to have crept into
the descriptions. Does it mean to say:
Tomcat uses a hierarchy of class loaders:
/lib
JARSs (and classes ?) visible ????
loaded by ???
/container /common /apps
(is this /apps or
/shared?)
JARs (and classes?) JARs (and classes?) JARs (etc)
visible only to visible to both the visible only to
tomcat (the container (tomcat) & webapps
container) webapps
Can someone who knows fill in the blanks and put the modified version in
lib/README?
A side question: Is it generally desirable to include lines like
# The following line prohibits users from directly accessing META-INF
#
<Location "/admin/META-INF/">
AllowOverride None
deny from all
</Location>
in the description of contexts in mod_jk.conf?
