Hi :-) is the following possible?
- don't put "System.loadLibrary("JCoreImpl")" in Servlet class,
but put it in a utility class which is loaded by a classloader who is
"upper" than the classloader of "aaa" or "bbb". for example, put this
utility class and the native code Both in TOMCAT_HOME/lib
- then in the "init" method of those Servlet classes in webapp "aaa"
or "bbb", first load that utility class, then/so load the native code.
