This is regarding the Resources feature of tomcat 8.5 that allows us to add
external jars and class folder to the webapp classpath.
There seems to be an issue with the order in which class folder and jar files
are added to the classpath.
<Context docBase="D:\Projects\ProjectA"> <Resources
className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.StandardRoot"> <PostResources
base="D:\Projects\external\classes"
className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.DirResourceSet"
webAppMount="/WEB-INF/classes"> </PostResources> <PostResources
base="D:\Projects\lib\library1.jar"
className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.FileResourceSet"
webAppMount="/WEB-INF/lib/library1.jar">
</PostResources> </Resources>
</Context>
With the above configuration
the webapp classpath becomes -
WEB-INF\classes;WEB-INF\lib\*.jar;D:\Projects\lib\library1.jar;D:\Projects\external\classes
I expect the order to be
WEB-INF\classes;WEB-INF\lib\*.jar;D:\Projects\external\classes;D:\Projects\lib\library1.jar;
Is there a way to configure Context xml so that the classfolders added through
PostResources appear before jar files added through PostResources in the
classpath?
