Hi,
Is it possible to configure a separate class loader for each web app running

This is the case by default. No configuration is required.

Ok, that's strange because yesterday I had a small problem, and I assumed
that it was due to the same class being loaded on startup by 2 web apps.
I had a url endpoint loaded into a config class on startup from the web.xml,
for some reason no messages were reaching the correct end point. This
This all depends on your webapp structure. If your config class is on the
common or system class loader, it's shared by all webapps. Otherwise, (that
mean if class is in WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/classes), it shouldn't be shared.
Unless, of course, you specified a specific classloader to use by
Thanks for the reply.
To be honest I am not sure, both web apps are separated, have their own
web.xml files and also are accessed via different ports, however as they are
effectively the same application at different stages of development they
each need to load parameters in on start up to a

Ok thanks, it's starting to become clearer now.
The class file is in a jar file that lives in tomcat\shared\lib. I am
guessing that these classes are loaded by a class loader further up the
hierarchy described in the tomcat docs. I suppose in this instance there
would only be one class loaded?

Thanks for the replies, I think I understand what is happening now, I think
for safety's sake I will use a separate config file for each web app instead
of trying to share one between them all and load separate copies.
Thank you.
