Nah ... just needing someone good at batch scripts to show us how it should be done.
Okay, now I am really confused...
Shouldn't the behaviour be;
1. Tomcat starts up. 2. Tomcat explodes an WAR files found in the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory. 3. For each web application (ie apps in the $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory + those explicitly named in server.xml) 3a. Add each JAR in the $WEB_APP/WEB-INF/libs directory to the CLASSPATH. 3b. Add the $WEB_APP/WEB-INF/classes directory to the CLASSPATH.
From what I have been hearing, Tomcat doesn't do 3b very well on the NT platform. This explains my problem with trying to deploy my web app in the WAR file format.
Is my understanding correct? I feel that Tomcat IS doing what it should be, however Xalan is somehow subverting Tomcat's classloader to dynamically load some classes and therefore doesn't pick up the CLASSPATH Tomcat carefully builds at step #3a and #3b above. What I'd like to know is... can this happen or is it impossible for web application code to bypass the Tomcat classloader?
