Hi, We have a fairly generic servlet framework that is used across more than one web app deployed to tomcat 4.1.30 on win2k using java 1.4.2_03-b02. The framework was initially included in the WEB-INF/lib for each application. However, I was hoping the framework jar could reside in shared/lib. This framework code basically uses a request handler to pass incoming requests to a webapp-specific request processor. The request handler instantiates a request processor via handler.getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass(SOME_PROCESSOR).newInstance(). Basically, as expected, the classloader fails to load the request processor class with the framework jar now in shared/lib.
Is there a loader scheme that I can use in the shared/lib jar that can be used to instantiate classes from my webapp (WEB-INF/classes)? Thanks! Matt Hanson
