First off, I apologize for being rude. It wasn't my intent. But I was trying
to quash what I interpreted to be a deliberate attempt to say "just do
this". The point I'm trying to make is that "this" (the solutions proposed
so far) don't really solve my problem.
So, please accept my apologies for getting frustrated and short. What I
originally asked for was some guidance into the Catalina sources so that I
could implement this myself. I'd love it if the feature were incorporated
into the Tomcat sources permanently, but that was not a requirement (yet,
anyway ;-) )

The problem with this solution is that it implements class sharing in the
file system, which is neither clean nor necessarily portable. What if I'm
running catalina on a device that doesn't support symlinks?

Sorry, Paul. I took the wording of your message to be "why not just copy the
classes", which has been suggested several times and is not what I want or
need. I didn't realize you were actually trying to understand what it is I
want. That is, however, what I want. Thanks.
