Hi, Here is the bug that I created: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52607
I didn't find "catalina.ext.dirs" property in the documentation. I just attached the debugger and checked the sources while executing the scenario ;-) Thanks and Regards Violeta 2012/2/5 Konstantin Kolinko <knst.koli...@gmail.com> > 2012/2/5 Violeta Georgieva <miles...@gmail.com>: > > Hi, > > > > As I wrote I'm placing the extension jar in > "C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.25\ext". > > I tried the following: I specified "C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.25\lib" as value > > for "catalina.ext.dirs" property and now the web application is working. > > > > But then I have two questions: > > > > - Do we need "catalina.ext.dirs" at all if we can use only Tomcat's > > classpath dirs?
