hello. working with tomcat 5.5. i have a few webapps which share a library for db connectivity, etc. so i deploy the three webapps and put the db library in shared/lib. but the webapps can't see it. when they reach that point in processing, they just stop. i've also tried common/lib - same result.

any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks
chris

Sounds weird, what is the error message that you see?

hello. no error message. but nobody believes me when i say that, so i'll give you a simpler case. i deploy the webapp with everything except the hibernate config file (must be in the classpath). So i drop the hibernate file in shared/classes - and when i run the app i get a message saying that it can't find the hibernate config file. if i move that file to the webapp's WEB-INF/classes directly, it works perfectly.

thanks for your time
