Classloading issue: common/lib/servlet-api.jar 2004-01-26 - By Guy Rouillier
Back
I found this message in the archives from Michael Duffy that is relevant
to my question:
>>
When Tomcat starts, it assumes the CLASSPATH for your
Web app consists of:
(1) The rt.jar, of course,
(2) All the JARs in TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib, which are
visible to all apps,
(3) All the JARs in the TOMCAT_HOME/server/lib, which
are visible only to Tomcat,
(4) All the JARs in your WEB-INF/lib, which are
visible only to your app,
(5) All the .class files in your WEB-INF/classes,
which are visible only to your app.
That's it.
If your Web app needs a JAR, put it in the WEB-INF/lib
and you should be all set. - MOD

My page (which is running with a security manager, i.e, -security) is
getting the following error (partial stack trace):
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError  :
javax/servlet/http/HttpSessionBindingListener
at java.lang.ClassLoader (Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader (ClassLoader.java:537)
at
java.security.SecureClassLoader (SecureClassLoader.java:123
)
I found that common/lib/servlet-api.jar contains this class, and if I
manually add it to the classpath (by editing catalina.sh), my page will
then work. According to the note above, all jars on common/lib should
be automatically available to my pages. I haven't touched
catalina.properties.
Any idea why this jar is not being picked up automatically out of
common/lib? Thanks.
