tomcat shared jars

[Edgar Dollin <Ed...@BLUE-MOOSE.NET>]

This a question of interest only.  It seems like it should work but doesn't.
 
If you jar up some code and put it in the tomcat/shared/lib it seems to have
an impact on where the system looks for message resource property files and
throws the following error:
 
2003-02-11 21:16:31 StandardContext[]: Servlet  threw load() exception
javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Parsing error processing resource path

If you put the jar into the WEB-INF/lib directory the container finds the
message files.  
 
TableLoad is a a class which extends ActionServlet to startup log4j.
TableLoad is not in a jar, but some of the action and form classes are, each
with their own local property files - in the jar.  
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks
