The short answer is jars that are particular to a webapp can go in WEB-INF/lib, however since database access is fairly common, your jdbc jars and db specific driver jars should go above the webapp directory into $TOMCAT_HOME/lib.
However, AFAIK some jars need to be in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib due to loading order. The only problem you would encounter is it won't work, so you could test it and see. -Alec On Thu, Nov 28, 2013 at 12:04 PM, Jose María Zaragoza <demablo...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hello: > > I'm using Tomcat 6.0.23 > Yes, I know is an old release > > Anyway, I would like to use tomcat-jdbc connection pool JAR > > So, I 've stored a context.xml into META-INF folder in my WAR, as > > <Context> > > <Resource auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" > factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory" > driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver" > initialSize="0" maxActive="100" maxIdle="20" maxWait="10000" mindIdle="0" > name="datasource/ddbb" password="xxxx" removeAbandoned="true" > url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5433/ddbb?LoginTimeout=3" > username="uuuuuu" validationQuery="SELECT 1" testOnBorrow="true" /> > > </Context> > > My question is > > should I store JAR ( tomcat-jdbc-x.x.x.jar & tomcat-juli-x.x.x.jar ) > into WEB-INF/lib folder in WAR > or into $TOMCAT_HOME/lb folder ? > > Could there be a problem by store them into the own WAR ( WEB-INF/lib ) ? > > > Thanks and regards > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org > >
