Actually I thought I was asking a different question: I use a specialization of VirtualWebappLoader quite successfully - to create a common class repository for a family of webapp contexts. My previous question(s) that seems to you to be related to this topic pertained to how I could create a hierarchy of webapp contexts, despite servlet spec disallowing such a hierarchy.
I did not realize that the class repository could be located outside Tomcat's installation - which is what I was trying to determine in this thread. /U ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles R Caldarale To: Tomcat Users List Sent: Wed, 15 Jul 2009 00:02:25 +0000 (UTC) Subject: RE: Include directories outside WEB-INF/ in CLASSPATH? > From: uma...@comcast.net [mailto:uma...@comcast.net] > Subject: Include directories outside WEB-INF/ in CLASSPATH? > > I am using Tomcat 6.0.14. > > Is there a way to include a directory outside WEB-INF/ into > the classpath of the WebappClassLoader?
