Can I set the order of which jars will get loaded first?

Most often it seems the CLASSPATH is used to add JDBC drivers or
common 3rd party libraries. We have special facilities for that in
Geronimo, so I don't see that being able to set the CLASSPATH is all that
valuable.

I am working on the startup scripts for Geronimo and was wondering whether
people can see a requirement now or in the future where users would want
to be able to specify their own classpath when executing the startup
script (e.g. in the CLASSPATH env var) and have that appended to the
server's classpath (currently the server's classpath is set in the
Class-Path manifest attribute of the geronimo/bin/server.jar file)?

If this is a requirement, here is a proposal (untested) on how we could
implement it:
The startup script when issuing the java command would:
* not use the -jar option. It would construct the full classpath,
including the classpath the user specified followed by the server's
classpath and specify it on the -cp option.
* obtain the server's part of the classpath by executing a .bat or .sh
file that was written by the assembly, since the assembly knows this as it
sets the classpath in the JAR manifest.
* specify the main class on the java command (
org.apache.geronimo.system.main.Daemon )
* specify the endorsed dir ( lib/endorsed )
(FYI.. Tomcat startup scripts do not use the -jar option and allow users
to set the classpath).
Anyone have any opinions or ideas?
Thanks,
