-Section not yet written. +Jacob.jar relies on a DLL file that it loads off of the library path or classpath. +The code is written so that the jacob.dll is only loaded one time per classloader. +This works fine in the standard application but can cause problems if jacob.jar +is loaded from more than one class loader as in the situation where multiple +jacob dependent web applications run in the same web server. +Jacob is put in the WEB-INF/lib directory of each application's war file. +In this situation, the web server uses a different classloader for each applicaiton. +This means that each application will attempt to load the jacob.dll and errors +are generated. The only way around this at this time (1.11) is to put the jacob.jar +in the common/lib because that classloader is inherited by all of the applicaitons +so the DLLs will only get loaded once.
