Hi, I have a brief question regarding the way tomcat loads jar files.
Are the references to all jar files in common\lib and shared\lib loaded on server startup? I know classes are loaded once they are requested, but I added a new jar file that was never there before (so no classes were loaded) and I couldn't reference the classes. Is this because the classpath that tomcat uses references every single jar file, and the jvm needs to be stopped in order for the new jar file to appear on the classpath? I just bought a tomcat book, so hopefully I can stop asking these silly questions soon!!
