The jar files are provided and signed by an external vendor. > You won't be able to keep two different versions of a class in the > same classloader anyway. I want to use the newest version only, of course. Normally, I would simply place the jar with the newest versions first in the classpath. But the tomcat server has no such control, instead it just loads jar files from the WEB-INF/lib directory, which means that the order is based on the OS filesystem. Apparently, there is no easy way to control the classpath for web applications in Tomcat, so instead I have to make a custom classloader that does loads classes from the jar files in a controlled order. - Rasmus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
