Description john deardurff 2007-12-18 10:54:12 UTC
By adding the privileged="true" attribute to the Context element of some
conf\Catalina\localhost\myApp.xml as in:

<Context path="/myApp" docBase="C:/myApp/" cookies="false" override="true"
privileged="true">

Jar files within shared\lib are no longer loaded for the myApp application, but
jars from common\lib are. 

We are using Tomcat 5.5.17 with JRE 5.5_06 running on Windows and AIX servers.
The problem is consistently reproducible. 

For us the temporary workaround has been to move our shared jars from shared\lib
to common\lib.

Sorry, the docs should have made the change in parent class loader as a result
of using this option clear. I have updated the docs for trunk and proposed the
change for inclusion in 6.0.x and 5.5.x.
Comment 2 Mark Thomas 2007-12-23 12:04:51 UTC
Fixed in 6.0.x.
Comment 3 Mark Thomas 2008-01-06 15:13:19 UTC
Fixed in 5.5.x and will be included in 5.5.26 onwards.
