There's another approach, semi-supported by Tomcat, as noted in this thread: http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-user&m=119515455807928&w=2 The VirtualWebappLoader supports additional paths beyond WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes; however, since it's undocumented and Tomcat-specific, I'm a bit hesitant to suggest it for production environments. > Then where would I put this .class file so that Tomcat > notices and uses my classloader for my webapp, rather > than using its own ? The custom classloader is specified via a <Loader> element inside your webapp's <Context> element: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/loader.html - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
