I have added several jar files to common/lib and they seem to load fine, but when I add a third the classes that are in it are not being found, and the result is NoClassDefFound errors. When I unpack the jar into the classes directory instead of putting the jar i the common/lib it seems to work fine. Anyone seen this before? The jar not being found is rather large compared to the rest, about 8.5 megs. OS: Solaris 8 Tomcat: 4.x J2SE: 1.3.1_03 Thanks Guys and Gals! -Jason
I don't think that common/lib is intended for application support classes - there's a separate lib directory where I put my database support jars, at least. For app-specific jars, the webapp's WEB-INF/lib directory is what you should be using - otherwise you won't deploy properly should you move to another appserver - not even a Tomcat 3 one.
