Re: How to use Jar Scan Filters

2015-03-31 Thread Thusitha Thilina Dayaratne
Hi All,

I'm using embedded tomcat as an OSGi bundle. In tomcat 7.0.59 we extended
the StandardJarScanner to scan some jars which are resides in a custom
location. Since these jars are needed for all the applications putting them
in WEB-INF is not applicable,
We are now trying to use Tomcat 8.0.20 with that. I saw newly introduced
Jar Scan Filter there.

Can someone give me an example code segment to show how to use
JarScanFilters?
I go through the [1]. There it mention

 JarScanner
JarScanFilter
pluggabilityScan=${tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanFilter.jarsToScan},
   my_pluggable_feature.jar/
  /JarScanner


Is this can be use only to scan jars inside WEB-INF and class path?
or can I scan some jar file which are located in custom locations? (Since
those jar files are needed for all the web applications)
If it is possible how can I provide the custom path? Should I give the
absolute path?


[1] - http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/jar-scan-filter.html
Any suggestions or help on this would be really nice.

Thanks
Best Regards
