Not sure what you mean by "references" in the above. Regardless, each classloader creates its classpath from the set of jars that exist *at startup* in its associated directories. Adding a jar to a lib directory will require a restart of the component - either Tomcat itself or an individual webapp. You should be able to add (but not replace) individual files in the classes directories on the fly. I hope the book you bought is appropriate for the version of Tomcat you're using; a lot of them are sadly out of date, so be careful. Read the real Tomcat docs first. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
