Ok, I'm embarrassed.
I've got a UBUNTU (GUI included) install of Tomcat7 installed from command
line.
Inside my machine I have what looks like two locations that play a key role.
****OPTION 1 for the jdbc.jar file?****
I think that this is the "$CATALINA" base
Path: usr/share/tomcat7
Folders Inside: (bin, common, conf, lib, log, server, shared)
Files Inside: (defaults.md5sum, defaults.template,
logrotate.md5sum, logrotate.template)
****OPTION 2 for the jdbc.jar file?****
I'm not sure if this would be the "$CATALINA" home
Path: var/lib/tomcat7
Folders Inside: (common, conf, logs, server, shared, webapps, work)
**When I upload a .war file from the
http://localhost/manager/html interface
it is placed in the "webapps"**
****OPTION 3 for the jdbc.jar file?*** *This is working, but I am going to
write multiple apps which would use this .jar file.
do I just include multiple copies of the .jar, or is there a central place
to put it (please no jokes here).
