Our build process auto-builds CATALINA_BASE and so it's (marginally) more convenient to have it in CATALINA_HOME. We also have 4 applications running on each server from the same CATALINA_HOME and different CATALINA_BASEs, but they all use the same JDBC driver. IMHO, it doesn't matter which one you use. I would have +1'd Jose whichever one he said. Honestly, CATALINA_BASE is probably much better, since it won't interfere with other applications that might not need the driver, or might require a different version, etc. -chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
