Tomcat shared folder -- where is it gone???

[monahan]

Hi all,

I've installed the lastest version of tomcat 6.0.2 and the shared folder (<tomcat-home>\shared) does not exist.

I've used tomcat 5.0.28 before so I went back to that version, downloaded it, and installed/unzipped it and the shared folder again is not there.

Does this folder have to be created manually? I never remember having to do that before.

The reason I'm asking is that I'm using maven to deploy a web app to tomcat and it specifically looks for the tomcat-home\shared\lib directory and if it does not exist then it throws an error.

If I go ahead and manually make the folder then it works ok.

Can anyone explain.

Thanks

Mike

Looks like they've done away with shared/lib and common/lib and gone for a single lib directory. About time in my mind !

If you really need a folder called shared/lib, then you will have to create it yourself.

Ya it looks like that but what I can't understand is when I download version 5.0.28 which I've worked with before, that also has no shared folder. Where did it go?

Thanks
