Why not add the path to the CLASSPATH variable in the '<TOMCAT_HOME>/bin/setclasspath.sh' script (or setclasspath.bat for Windows)?
We've done that for getting Tomcat to recognize server-specific properties files and it seems to do the trick.

Does anyone know of a way to tell Tomcat to use an additional classpath (other than WEB-INF/classes) when loading an application? I've got an off the shelf application that requires us to copy our custom classes into the application's WEB-INF/classes/ directory every time we upgrade, which is frequent. Ideally, I would like to put the upgraded files on nfs (which is outside Tomcat folder) that Tomcat can pick up every time it is restarted. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-tell-Tomcat-to-use-an-additional-classpath-othe r-than-web-inf-classes--tp19004517p19004517.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
