Thanks for the quick reply, I don't believe I've tried that, but it isn't the complete solution I was looking for. Remember, tomcat (5.5) is shipped with the CGIServlet jar in a package named /server/lib/servlets-cgi.renametojar. Using your solution would remove the servlet setup from the global web.xml, but still require an admin to rename the jar. Sure, not a big deal, but an installation requirement I'd like to avoid.
So I guess the question comes down to classloading, and I'm getting confused there. On, this page: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html It says: "Catalina - This class loader is initialized to include all classes and resources required to implement Tomcat 5 itself. These classes and resources are TOTALLY invisible to web applications. All unpacked classes and resources in $CATALINA_HOME/server/classes, as well as classes and resources in JAR files under $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib, are made visible through this class loader." So I'm not following, are the resources "TOTALLY invisible to web applications" or are they "made visible through this class loader"? The two parts seem contradictory to me. Is is saying the actual *files* are inivisble, but the classes (in either classes or lib) are made visible by the classloader? Again, not sure. If they are "TOTALLY invisible" then your suggestion wouldn't work, as the CGIServlet is in /server/lib. However, the WebdavServlet runs in a stand-alone webapp and it is also located in /server/lib. So, in summary, you're saying the only way I can get CGIServlet defined in a single webapp is to leave servlets-cgi.jar in /server/lib and require an administrator to rename it?
