http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38223 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-01-12 19:20 ------- Created an attachment (id=17402) --> (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=17402&action=view) Configurable webapp loader that can add to the web application classpath Sriram: Thanks for the pointer. I didn't much like the implementation though - (a) I don't like the need to create a properties file: though it will greatly simplify the setup if you have multiple web applications with the same requirements, for me this is needed for development work only and I don't want developers to get too comfortable with this hack, and (b) I didn't like the fact that the attached file doesn't have the source for the class loader, so I couldn't see for myself how it does this and fix my first problem. So I created a new class, based on WebappLoader (not WebappClassLoader), which very simply offers a 'classpath' attribute for the loader, which when filled with classpath entries (colon separated or whatever your platform likes) it adds them to the list of repositories in WebappLoader. So my context looks like this: <Context path="/my/webapp" docBase="/path/to/my/webapp" debug="0" privileged="true" reloadable="true"> <Loader className="org.apache.catalina.loader.ConfigurableWebappClassLoader" classpath="/path/to/extra/classes:/path/to/more/classes"/> </Context> I've tested it to work nicely with Tomcat 5.0.30 I license this code under triple licenses: GPL, LGPL and Apache. I won't mind if this be added to the Tomcat distribution, though at this point I don't mind - I only build development servers once in quite a while and the current one is all done :-) -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
