The short story is this worked, thanks very much for the pointer. When I read this I said Duh! I knew that. I ran into further problems with attempting to put the jar files in the lib directory, but it turns out that was the monitoring software that we run things through didn't have CATALINA_BASE defined. The catalina.sh comments say that this variable is optional and defaults to $CATALINA_HOME, but as soon as I defined it, I stopped having problems loading the jar files I needed.
Again, thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Mark Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 20, 2006 7:00 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Using tomcat with commons-digester in commons/lib won't work Allen,Eva wrote: > What gives?

Almost certainly failed because of other jars digester depends on that you didn't move. You should be able to leave the Tomcat jars alone and place copies of all the jars you need in the lib directory of your webapp. There have been some class loading issues that the latest Tomcat 4 release (4.1.34) should have resolved.
