Actually, I forgot to mention I didn't want to put the jar file into the
WEB-INF/lib directory.
There are various reasons I don't want to do this, and one of them is that
the jar file may be used by multiple contexts (but not all contexts) - so I
don't want multiple copies of the jar file floating around everywhere.

I am not sure if this answers your question but you can put jar files inside
of the WEB-INF/lib directory for each context and they will show up in the
classpath.

hope this helps,

Is there a way in Tomcat to add a jar file to a context's classpath
(available to all servlets/etc. within that context) on a per-context basis
(as opposed to editing the tomcat.properties file and adding a
wrapper.classpath prop - which makes it available to all contexts)?

This seems like a pretty simple thing to do which other servlet containers
allow you to do - but I can't find any place to do it based on info in the
server.dtd or web.dtd.

Interested in answers for both 3.1 & 3.2.


Thanks,

- Jason
