Yep...thats the issue.
Trying to clarify, do you mean a full blown "Extension" mechanism as
in the J2EE spec, or a simpler classpath extension mechanism? No
preference, just trying to see what the problem and solution are.
What's required to make tomcat work is to have an entry in the system
property java.ext.dirs that is a directory including some of the tck
jars. I was going to put this extra location into the executable jar
manifest and set it to ${geronimo.home}/lib/ext. I was also going to
duplicate the various bits of copying and setup that the endorsed dir
gets. Aside from Tomcat I haven't detected any code that looks at this
property, but I assume that providing the system property will be
sufficient for whatever plain java wants to do.
Does this seem reasonable?

Jeff and I have discovered that to run tomcat we need an extension

this is rather unsatisfactory.
I'm proposing to implement this just like endorsed directories and
to put the default location at ${geronimo.home}/lib/ext.
Anyone have any comments or better ideas?
How does this relate to GERONIMO-310?
