Thank Luis,
I will try following your 2nd method.
I found this link to skinny wars for maven-ear-plugin
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-ear-plugin/examples/skinny-wars.html
It seems very similar to your weblogic example with the MANIFEST.MF
configuration
It should work in my case if I change my virtual host setup

Hello Matthew,
mmm, yes every jar that you drop in the common classloader will be visible
to all webapps.
- "meta in the jar": mmm, yes, e.g. in our weblogic servers we have exactly
that case...
-In the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF of the shared jar:
Extension-Name: commonFilters
Specification-Version: 1.0
Implementation-Version: 1.8
- In the webapps:
Extension-List: ssoFilters
ssoFilters-Extension-Name: commonFilters
ssoFilters-Specification-Version: 1.0
ssoFilters-Implementation-Version: 1.8
... and in weblogic we deploy the jar as a library. You can have a look at
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/extensions/versioning.html
For me the simplest would be to copy your jar to $CATALINA_BASE/lib.
Hope it helps,
Luis

Hi Luis,
When using method [1] does the jar have to be manually dropped into a
common folder defined in the config? That would be a pain.
What would be great if i could add some meta in the jar which means it
gets picked up by the common loader when scanned by future wars
i have lookeds into EARs but I need some time to get my head around it.
At the moment I use Tomcat virtual hosts in production although I want
to change it so that httpd is doing the proxying

Hello Matthew,
Probably the common classloader is the place for your jar, see [1]
Otherwise you could also packed all your apps in an .ear file and add
your
.jar there. In tomee you can deploy .ear files as well [2]. For this
approach you have to declare the apps folder in conf/tomee.xml
<tomee>
<!-- see http://tomee.apache.org/containers-and-resources.html -->
<!-- activate next line to be able to deploy applications in apps -->
<Deployments dir="apps" autoDeploy="true"/>
</tomee>
Hope it helps,
Luis

seems like this must have been asked before...i have been moving some
common database code into a jar file and it works great. but it is
included in several wars and those projects load the jar individually
each time. i wondered if there is a way to load a jar only once into
TomEE and have it commonly accessed across all webapps?
