Hello
OS : RedHat Linux Enterprise 5.0
Apache Tomcat version : 5.5.20
We install many application beans in Tomcat. Each application's war file
contains
$ jar tvf appName.war

Many jar files in WEB-INF/lib directory are same for all applications.
The number of these jar files are many.
Question:
1) Instead of including these jar files as part of the applicationX.war, can
they be copied to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
2) What is the significance of $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib &
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/appName/WEB-INF/lib
TIA
