choosing where to deploy class files

[Tim Cronin <ti...@13-colonies.com>]

I've created a Custom Realm since my DB user structure cannot be changed to
match the JDBCRealm. 

placing my classes at $CATALINA_HOME/classes I get: 
ClassNotFoundException <my realm implementation class>

placing my classes at $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes
it finds my Realm but I get:
NoClassDefFoundError org/apache/catalina/realm/RealmBase

to work I have to put $CATALINA_HOME/server/classes

the problem is the Realm class uses a common package that accessed the
database. This package does all our connection pooling and statement
execution. this package is also used by our servlets/jsp's

packages put in $CATALINA_HOME/server/classes are not available to
the web applications...

is there a place to place my classes that is available for both web apps
and tomcat?

Tim,
could you please tell me where you found info on doing this?

Did you just subclass JDBCRealm or do you need to do something else?

Thanks,

Put JAR files in common/lib, and unpacked classes in common/classes -- see
the Tomcat docs for more information:

  http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/class-loader-howto.html
