So, it seems that you're saying that I don't understand the class loading
mechanism. Aside from the discussion about why that doesn't obviate the need
for a way to extend the class path in the configuration files (be it
Server.xml, web.xml, or in the war manifest), can you tell me if there is a
solution here?
I would like to be able to have a webapp find necessary classes in an
arbitrary directory, specified as a property. If you can tell me what class
I can invoke to perform this, then perhaps that would be enough. However, I
still feel that the original request is valid.
