Yes, in fact this is my doubt.
I mean, I'm planning to have several instances of the same application on the server, and I don't want to have 8Mb of libraries duplicated for each of them.
I thought that a possible solution was to move those libraries into the tomcat lib directory, but you are right: it can happen that in some month I will develop a new version of the app. using an updated version of Stripes or Hibernate (and it can be that it is not backward compatible...).
So, what I should do?
Thanks,
