I wrote something that works for me: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38223 Essentially: You need to 1. Place a class in CATALINA_HOME/server/classes 2. Place a context.xml for your web app at CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost 3. Place a myclasses.properties file at some location and edit the context.xml to point to this file. 4. Edit the myclasses.properties file to contain a list of all the folders that contain your classes. 5. Start Tomcat and use your Web App. Your WebApp need not have all the classes in WEB-INF/classes. They can be at the locations specified in the myclasses.properties file.
