Tomcat 4 jaxp.jar and crimson.jar now in common/lib ?
In the catalina/build.xml version 1.60 commit the location of jaxp.jar
and crimson.jar was changed from server/lib to common/lib. Was this
change intended or inadvertant?
Regards,
Glenn

The change was intentional.
Many servlet containers (and all J2EE platforms) expose an XML parser to
web applications by default, so that they don't have to include one in
/WEB-INF/lib. Tomcat 4.0 was different in that respect, which caused lots
of install questions.
That being said, there is an outstanding conflict with the new mechanism
when the webapp really does include Xerces. An upcoming 4.0.1 release
(release plan/vote will be presented soon) will deal with this -- either
by fixing the underlying problem (if possible) or telling people how to
deal with it in the Release Notes.
