ignoring the maven fanatics, Tomcat's classloader searches the WEB-INF/classes directory before the WEB-INF/lib/*.jar. This means that it is sometimes nice to use WEB-INF/classes for a development server. But for a production server you won't see much difference.

Is there any advantage why I should not just jar all my class files and put them in WEB-INF/lib rather than exploding the jar file to the classes directory? I like developing with the classes and I understand it is nice to let tomcat deploy a .war file but it also creates some problems for me because i deploy to multiple production servers with different settings that get overwritten every time my war file is expanded. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_t1_allup_explore_022009 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
