Each running VM has a classpath, how else would it now where to load the classes from (I'm not talking about classes loaded with a custom classloader later, I'm talking about bootstrap etc).
I am probably totally wrong, but isn't the BASEDIR variable in setclasspath.sh defined from CATALINA_HOME? Therefore, wouldn't two instances with same CATALINA_HOME share the endorsed libs? However, it probably has nothing to do with the original question of this thread, so I better stop spamming :-) regards Leon > > Btw, how are multiple tomcats with same home affected by the known > > bugs in tomcat according not releasing jars on reload? > > What known bugs in Tomcat itself?
