No, the system classloader is the one used to load the primary application classes; when running Tomcat, it normally references Tomcat's bin/bootstrap.jar file plus the jars linked from that one via META-INF. The rt.jar and other JRE jars are handled by the JVM's bootstrap (aka "null") classloader. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
