The problem is that Phoenix ClassLoader system does not allow you to easily modify ClassLoader hierarchies. I am currently in the process of adding in support for this and you can see the early documentation at http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/excalibur/loader/index.html You may want to look at the sample at http://jakarta.apache.org/avalon/excalibur/loader/sample.html which actually talks about setting up a ClassLoader hierarchy for a Servlet Container. Theres about 2-3 hours work left to finish off the implementation and test cases. However probably a bit more time to actually document it properly. Have a look at the web pages and tell me if they help you and if not - what I need to do to make it easier to use/understand. > In doing so, I must delegate the > lifecycle from one class to another, i.e. CatalinaSevak contains > CatalinaSevakServer contains CatalinaSevakService, etc. Is it > common/accepted to allow this brand of containmnet within Avalon or is it > discouraged?
