RE: WEB-INF/lib problems (Was: tomcat.policy and WEB-INF/lib?)

[Noel L Yap <ya...@jpmorgan.com>]

I haven't been able to get WEB-INF/lib to work.  As a workaround I've been
putting the jar files in tomcat/lib.  It's been working fine so far.

Now that you mention it, though, I think there were dup jar files when I was
using WEB-INF/lib.  I'll revisit this issue when I have more time.  For now, I
need to get our stuff up and running in a couple more days.

Thanks,
Noel

Make sure you don't have copies of these jars in tomcat\lib -- I've found
that can cause class path problems.

Actually, I'm having problems getting stuff in WEB-INF/lib jar files to be
imported by my JSP's (I'm getting ClassNotFoundException's).  I was
wondering if
tomcat.policy had anything to do with the problems.

Thanks,
Noel

well you can use the classloader, let's say that you have a jar file
(test.jar) containing a property file (test.properties) and the jar file is
in lib, then from your servlet you can say

this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("test.properties");

is that what you are trying to achieve?
