start.jar itself does no work around the WebAppContext's classloaders. That's for the various XML files you are using to manage.
The WebAppContext has a ClassLoader layer of its own. This layer is likely preventing you from accessing the webapp specific classes from the server classloader. If you want to play around with the access rules, you'll want to check out the WebAppContext class and the relationship of System Classes to Server Classes. Accessing classes in that direction Server -> WebApp seems odd to me. Check the __dftSystemClasses and __dftServerClasses fields (and comments) at http://git.eclipse.org/c/jetty/org.eclipse.jetty.project.git/tree/jetty-webapp/src/main/java/org/eclipse/jetty/webapp/WebAppContext.java?h=master#n92 Good Luck -- Joakim Erdfelt <[email protected]> www.webtide.com Developer advice, services and support from the Jetty & CometD experts.
