Hi,

&nbsp;

We’ve been happily using Liquibase with our in-house desktop apps but I’m trying now to deploy the servlet context listener under Tomcat 6.0.29.&nbsp; With liquibase-1.9.5.jar in my WEB-INF/lib folder, I can’t load the context listener.&nbsp; I’ve tried putting the PostgreSQL 9.0 JDBC4&nbsp;driver in WEB-INF/lib and in $CATALINA\_HOME/lib.&nbsp; When I move liquibase-1.9.5.jar to $CATALINA/lib the context listener is found but then it can’t find my changeLog files in WEB-INF.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Does this sound familiar to anybody?&nbsp; Am I missing something?

&nbsp;

Thanks,

&nbsp; --Steve

For some reason Eclipse wasn’t deploying liquibase.jar to WEB-INF/lib.

&nbsp;

Thanks to all who looked.
