Thank you, Chris, in catalina.properties file, I also saw shared.loader
property, as you know, the TC7 doc says "System", "Common", and "Webapp"
classloaders. If "common.loader" map to common classloader, what
"shared.loader" get map to?
And are those ${catalina.base} and ${catalina.home} built-in placeholder for
TC7?
