Hi. Not sure if it is the most "approved" option, but there is a priveleged attribute in the <Context /> which when set to true (privileged="true") gives the classloader (and your classes) access to the tomcat/catalina internals - thus no need for your "hacking" etc.
Just a thought.

There will be already some tomcat webapps running on a standard port configured in server.xml. What I want to do is that based on some input from the user, I should start new webapps on a different port and this port number is dynamic. Is there a way I can achieve this functionality. I looked at the manager application but it only allows to add/remove webapps within a static pre-configured port number. I am able to achieve by hacking some of the tomcat code and installing my class in the Catalina loader that can access classes like StandardEngine, etc. I am not sure if there are any caveats to it. Please let me know. Thanks. Naren --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
