I'm trying to setup tomcat server with all the common spring jars going to tomcat lib directory, since I've number of web apps using spring. However one of my web app uses spring batch with quartaz jar as well. This web app was working fine when all the jars was in app1/WEB-INF/lib directory. However when I tried to move all the common spring jars to tomcat/lib directory and spring batch and quartaz jar in app1/WEB\_INF/lib, I'm getting noclassdefFound Error. Here is the stack trace

```

```

However when I copy the same jar to tomcat/lib directory it works perfectly. As for as my understanding. the order of class file search is first jdk->boot strap-> system->common->web-app lib. Hence it should search for the file. in web app/web-inf/lib directory. Do I need to add any configuration to tomcat6 or maven war plugin to specify the jar?

```
