They need to be in common/lib when they need to be accessed by tomcat itself as well as the webapps. shared/lib would just be the webapps. I don't know about struts and jstl but you'd more than likely need a log4j in each webapp to get seperate webapp logging.

Subject: [Q] when to share jars


When do you share jars (struts, log4j, jstl, etc) for
webapps in the common/lib directory and when does each
app need its own "copy" of the jars?

Log4j we've found by trail and error is better to have
a jar per webapp, as the loggers seems to overwrite
each other, but which commonly used jars (struts,
jstl) can be shared?

Thanks

Charl
