Adding JAR files to tomcat server

[Kevin Benzing <ke...@sdrc.com>]

Could anyone tell me where I would have to put a JAR file or what file
would have to be modified so that the tomcat server will know where to
look for and find a new JAR file.

Just add them to your environment class path.

Just put the jar file in the tomcat\lib directory and add it to your
classpath
in tomcatenv.bat.

You have two options:

1) If the whole set of web-apps needs to see it, put the jar under
<JRE_HOME>/lib/ext where <JRE_HOME> is the location of where the Java
process runs.  If you are using NT w/o the JDK in the path it defaults
to hiding under "Program Files/Javasoft/..."  If you put the jdk in the
system path it defaults to "\JDK1.2.2\jre\lib\ext"   This only works
with a Java 2 JDK.

2) If only one web app uses it or multiple copies of the jar are
acceptable (or you can symlink under a unix box) then put the jars under
the WEB-INF/lib directory of the particular web app.  So for examples it
would be <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/lib where you would drop
the jar.

of course you could also add it to the system class path, but for a
large number of jars that creates a rather large classpath rather quick.
