RE: How to tell Tomcat to use an additional classpath other than web-inf/classes?
Why not add the path to the CLASSPATH variable in the 'TOMCAT_HOME/bin/setclasspath.sh' script (or setclasspath.bat for Windows)? We've done that for getting Tomcat to recognize server-specific properties files and it seems to do the trick.

Does anyone know of a way to tell Tomcat to use an additional classpath (other than WEB-INF/classes) when loading an application? I've got an off the shelf application that requires us to copy our custom classes into the application's WEB-INF/classes/ directory every time we upgrade, which is frequent. Ideally, I would like to put the upgraded files on nfs (which is outside Tomcat folder) that Tomcat can pick up every time it is restarted. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-tell-Tomcat-to-use-an-additional-classpath-othe r-than-web-inf-classes--tp19004517p19004517.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Load order for Global Resources
Is the order that Tomcat 6.0.x loads/instantiates Custom Resources definable? If so, how? If not, is there a way to ensure that one custom resource is loaded prior to another one? Tomcat 4.x seemed to have the behavior that custom resources were created in the order they appear in the server.xml file. I'm migrating an application that appears to have a dependency on that order of loading. It runs fine in Tomcat 4.0 (and Sun Web server 6.x), but it's failing to load in Tomcat 6.0. It throws an error where one custom resource object refers to another that's available via JNDI but that item hasn't been loaded yet. Dave
RE: Load order for Global Resources
Thanks. Some replies: I think the order is going to be be defined by the order in which the xml parser returns them. Has there been any change to the parser from version 4.x to version 6.x? If so, maybe that'll explain the problem. If not, in theory, we should be getting the same order of loading...in which case something else might be in play. Is there any way you can modify the code the the resource with the dependency to work around this? My mind is starting to go there. But the first task is to migrate this to the current version of Tomcat and I'd like to avoid any coding changes unless it is clear they need to be made. This issue is still a mystery.
