Make the common and shared class loaders look in catalina.base

           Summary: Make the common and shared class loaders look in
                    catalina.base
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.3 Final
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: qha@unit.liu.se


When using one tomcat installation with several tomcat instances tomcat should
look for common and shared classes in catalina.base as well as in catalina.home.
This way you can share the common tomcat installation while using different
versions of a package in separate instances.
Also, it greatly facilitates moving tomcat instances to other machines and does
away with manual bookkeeping of the shared and common classes.




I'll attach a patch that I believe solves the problem. (Tested on Linux and
Solaris.)
