I have a JAX-WS service that also has some dependencies and I need to bundle them together as part of the WAR file so that when deployed to the server the dependencies are not installed in the normal $TOMCAT/lib directory which may affect other services running on the production server. How do I go about this?

The war file is a zip archive that contains files and directories. It should contain a WEB-INF/lib directory where you store the dependencies (jar files in most of cases)

Is that where the `WebService` will first look when referencing depepndencies before the `$TOMCACT/lib` directory – dadidaochieng May 13 '18 at 08:08

Yes as explained in the [Tomcat classloader documentation](http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html). – Eugène Adell May 13 '18 at 11:21
