I am running tomcat 5.5 in an STANDALONE CONFIG
i am running myEclipse IDE as a separate entity

i am trying to communicate between two separate applications, two separate web contexts. Was pulling a ClassCast exception when in one context i tried assigning the object, instantiated in the other context. Resolved the problem by putting the class in question in a separate aspaceebean jar and putting this jar in TOMCAT/SHARED/LIB, now the code works, however i also need to keep a reference to the class in my build path. I have done this by the expedient of pointing my buildpath to the jar in TOMCAT/SHARED/LIB, however, have found that when i redeploy as an exploded jar file on tomcat the aspacebean.jar is also redeployed to my web-inf / lib directory, Is there any way to tell myEclipse that the jar file in already in the TOMCAT/SHARED/LIB folder and NOT TO COPY IT my web-inf/lib folder ?

To prevent the jars on your build path from being deployed, you can go to Windows > Preferences > MyEclipse > Java Enterprise Project > Web Project > Deployment and under the library deployment policy uncheck the “Jars on Web Project build-path”.
