How to prioritize WEB-INF\lib jar files loading order
Hi all, Is there a possibility to assign to Tomcat class loader priority in the way it loads the jar in WEB-INF\lib? My application uses axis.jar in WEB-INF\lib. However, some classes from axis.jar had had to be rewritten (i.e. Calendar serializer and deserializer). I'd like to include them in my application specific jar file, which is also in WEB-INF\lib. It appears that Tomcat (4.1) class loader load the jars in an undocumented and not guaranteed alphabetic order. Though, I don't want to rely on this hypothetical behaviour. Thanks for your help I found a similar thread in the mailing list archive, but it has been closed 3 years ago. I hope someone got a solution in the meantime.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier just to replace the calsses in axis.jar that were rewritten? Afterall a .jar is just an archive.

The classes directory has a higher precendence than the jar files. -Tim Etienne Klajnerman wrote: Hi all, Is there a possibility to assign to Tomcat class loader priority in the way it loads the jar in WEB-INF\lib?
