Hi Dave,
I believe one of the primary reasons that the
conf/catalina.properties file exists is so things like this are
configurable. If:
shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar
doesn't do what you want, change it to:
shared.loader=${catalina.home}/shared/classes,${catalina.home}/shared/lib/*.jar
or something else that achieves your goal.
D'oh!!!! Why didn't I think of that???
Cheers,
Larry

With the way I read it now, anything I try to put under
catalina_home/shared/lib won't be visible to the webapps in the
various catalina_base folders. Is this correct?
Yes. Look at RUNNING.txt in your Tomcat installation directory. To
quote from it:
When you use this "-Dcatalina.base=$CATALINA_BASE" argument, Tomcat
will calculate all relative references for files in the following
directories based on the value of $CATALINA_BASE instead of
$CATALINA_HOME:
* conf - Server configuration files (including server.xml)
* logs - Log and output files
* shared - For classes and resources that must be shared
across all web
applications
* webapps - Automatically loaded web applications
* work - Temporary working directories for web applications
* temp - Directory used by the JVM for temporary files
(java.io.tmpdir)
Note the inclusion of shared in the CATALINA_BASE set. It would be
better if it read "For classes and resources that must be
shared across
all web applications within this Tomcat instance."
Yes, that's what I decided on re-reading it for the umpteenth
time, when I couldn't get it to work the way I wanted. A bit
of clarification by the doc writers might be in order.
