Hi Dave,

I believe one of the primary reasons that the
conf/catalina.properties file exists is so things like this are
configurable. If:

shared.loader=${catalina.base}/shared/classes,${catalina.base}/shared/lib/*.jar

doesn't do what you want, change it to:

shared.loader=${catalina.home}/shared/classes,${catalina.home}/shared/lib/*.jar

or something else that achieves your goal.

Cheers,
Larry
