Re: How do I use (globally) one jar with different servlets?

[Scott Tatum <sc...@wcom.com>]

All that is required is that those jar files are in the classpath when
Tomcat is started. The current version of the startup scripts (at least in
3.2.1) create their own classpath, then append the existing classpath to
it. You could also manually add them in the scripts themselves.
