Hi I tried Tomcat 8.0.15 and the latest 8 svn to use ParallelWebappClassLoader.
>From reading [1] I get the impression that the following inside <Server> in server.xml or inside <Context> in context.xml should be enough. <Loader loaderClass="org.apache.catalina.loader.ParallelWebappClassLoader"/> However Tomcat keeps using org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader which is not parallel capable. Looking at the code I have a hard time figuring out how it's supposed to work WebappLoader.loaderClass is initialized to WebappClassLoader and never set to anything else. Also StandardContext.startInternal() hard codes the loader class to WebappLoader so I wonder whether setting className would also be ignored.
