Classpath again

[Sebastien Boving <se...@cirquedigital.com>]

Hi,

I've seen some messages on this issue, but still have some other
questions regarding it.

I use Tomcat 3.2.2 with Apache SOAP 2.2, and, as other people
mentionned, the CLASSPATH used when looking up providing classes seems
to be the classpath that was set when Tomcat was started, NOT including
that specific webapp's WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/classes.

So how do you deal with different developers working on the same
classes, but each wanting to test seperately? Setting up different
webapps with each an Apache SOAP listening doesn't seem to be possible,
since all webapps have to share the exact same classpath because of the
above problem.

Is the only way setting up a complete separate TOMCAT_HOME per
developer?! What work-arounds or other development deployment mechanisms
are common?

tia,
Sebastien.
