I’m creating a servlet-based application using Tomcat.
Besides that i’ve some classes to acces a DB with jdbc. (present in a other folder/package)
I was asking myself how to integrate them cleanly in my servlet-based application.
What’s the “cleanest” solution ?
thx
I would go with packaging as a separate JAR file and placing in
WEB-INF/libof your web app.While it may seem easier to just put JAR to the common libraries folder so that several web apps start using it – it will result in not being able to upgrade the JAR without restarting the whole server. Also you will need to make sure that the new JAR is working fine with all of the apps. Classpath issues are possible with this approach too.
