Have Bootstrap and StandardClassLoader use the same ClassLoader

           Summary: Have Bootstrap and StandardClassLoader use the same
                    ClassLoader
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.2 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I'm starting tomcat through a URLClassLoader than knows where the
tomcat Bootstrap.jar and tools.jar are.

However, tomcat fails to start because it can't find 
org.apache.catalina.loader.Reloader (see the backtrace at the end of the 
message).

I believe the problem is because of the lines in Bootstrap:

            commonLoader =
                ClassLoaderFactory.createClassLoader(unpacked, packed, null);

Since the parent classloader is null, a StandardclassLoader is created that uses 
the ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader() rather than my class loader.

I think if you change the line from null to
this.getClass().getClassLoader() it would then use my class loader and tomcat 
could start.
