Hi All,
TC 5.0.12
java version "1.4.1_04"
I have inherited a project that has multiple copies of some jar files
under $CATALINA_HOME. In particular the one I noticed first was
$CATALINA_HOME/server/lib/catalina.jar
$CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib/catalina.jar
I am under the impression that having multiple copies of the same jar
file is not ever a good thing!
There are some others but I am curious - do these really belong in
server or shared? Does anyone know where these are supposed to live?
I also saw from the tomcat website this:
"Therefore, from the perspective of a web application, class or resource
loading looks in the following repositories, in this order:
* Bootstrap classes of your JVM
* System class loader classses (described above)
* //WEB-INF/classes/ of your web application
* //WEB-INF/lib/*.jar/ of your web application
* /$CATALINA_HOME/common/classes/
* /$CATALINA_HOME/common/endorsed/*.jar/
* /$CATALINA_HOME/common/i18n/*.jar/
* /$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/*.jar/
* /$CATALINA_BASE/shared/classes/
* /$CATALINA_BASE/shared/lib/*.jar/
"
If an application wants to use a class from catalina.jar, does that mean
catalina.jar needs to be deleted from server/lib and placed in
shared/lib? Or is that not even possible by design?
Thanks again!
Tim
