Hi Steve,

Hopefully I read your question right.  There is no reason why your app 
wouldn't be able to find classes from a jar in common/lib -- there's 
something else going on here.  Do you have duplicate copies of these 
classes anywhere?  Do these classes rely on other classes found only in 
the /webapp/WEB-INF/lib jars or /webapp/WEB-INF/classes?

This particular issue aside, there's no good reason why you should have 
to place your JSPs in common/lib.  If there are other classes in your jar 
which have to be there (custom realm impl, for example), then break those 
out into a separate jar and keep your compiled JSPs in a separate jar in 
WEB-INF/lib.  ... and if you find that your realm is being somehow 
implemented in the JSP, you know you're really screwed.  :)
