RE: Semi-OT: Organizing WEB-INF/lib dir...

[Frank Zammetti]

I'm pretty sure the answer is no.  I just took all the JARs for a test app I 
had installed and moved them from WEB-INF/lib to WEB-INF/lib/stuff, and the 
app no longer works.  This is in Tomcat, so possibly it would work with 
another app server, but I tend to doubt it.

One suggestion that I can make, a habit I've gotten into, is name your JARs 
liberally, since their names don't matter.  I usually name the JARs as 
descriptively as possible (for example, "jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.1.0.jar" 
might be one) and include their version, so it's fairly easy to tradk down 
what's what and at a glance tell what versions I'm running.  Probably not 
the ideal answer, but maybe it'll clean up the mess just a little.

Quick question for the people more versed in web apps than me, can you 
organized your libs in your WEB-INF/lib dir into separate sub dirs? I ask 
because my project is using Struts and Hibernate right now, and there is a 
such a mish-mash of JARs forming in my WEB-INF/lib dir, that its hard for 
me to upgrade the right jars when a new release comes out. I'd like to have 
something like:

WEB-INF/lib/struts
WEB-INF/lib/hibernate
or something to that extent. Can I do this?
TIA
