I had tried that before but thought I'd try again. Not working and I'm not sure why. The external files are actual additional war files that act as modifiers to add items to menus as well as other things. There are class files, jar files in their WEB-INF/lib dirs , html, jsp, etc... And there could be 0..50 depending on what options are needed.
They do all reside in the same directory that we treat as an extra webapps directory, but it doesn't merge anything. So the old process was to go to location A, grab war files (expanded) 1,2 and 3 and merge them into the proper locations within the base war file (apparently in memory) so that it looks like a single code base to tomcat. Again, worked in 5.5 not in 7.0. -----Original Message----- From: Caldarale, Charles R [mailto:chuck.caldar...@unisys.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 12:32 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: context problem > From: Edward W.

I suspect you could do away with your IDWMClassLoader and simply use the VirtualWebappLoader that's packaged with Tomcat. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/loader.html#VirtualWebappLoad er_Implementation - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
