Although the reference given is quite appropriate, the statements preceding it are incorrect. The common/lib location is not for Tomcat internal use; it provides a location for classes that must be visible to *both* Tomcat and webapps, such as the servlet API interfaces and JDBC drivers for connection pooling. And, of course, all classes are "demand loaded" on first reference, regardless of location. Placing application-specific classes in WEB-INF/lib is certainly the right thing to do, since that contributes to webapp independence. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
