spring.jar deploy on shared/lib instead of web-inf/lib

[djeang]

Could a problem occurs if i deploy the spring.jar on shared/lib (tomcat) instead of web-inf/lib ?

I tried this, though with jboss/tomcat rather than just tomcat, and the jar in jboss/server/default/lib.
I found that I got classloading problems when I tried to hot-redeploy the application.
I don't know if you'd get the same issues with tomcat.
Try it and see.
