You might be able to, but please note: 'hot fixes' and 'patches' are not concepts that work well with compiled webapps. If you need to update a webapp, you should release a new version. Distributing instructions for applying updates to individual class files is going to cause you all sorts of support problems. Likewise, applying 'hot fixes' to plugin JARs isn't a good idea. E.g. If there are sequential modifications to a class, each will have to carry all the previous changes. Why not just update the JAR instead? You can also enable the shared classloader in tomcat/conf/catalina.properties. p > Regards > Krishna > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Anne, Radhakrishna (NSN - IN/Bangalore) > Sent: Tuesday, July 26, 2011 2:24 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: Class loading order > > Hello, > > My web applications is designed to plug-in 3 rd party modules. 3rd party > jars and my jars would placed under WEB-INF/libs. > In case of bugs, the third party developer may provide hot fixes , which > would be placed under WEB-INF/classes usually. > I do not want to place their hot fixes under WEB-INF/classes, as they > may conflict with my hot fixes and this would create some problems > during maintenance. > > So I was checking the possibility of defining a new location for 3rd > party hot fixes.
