Hmm, doesn't it do that already? ...just in either the work directory, or the webapp directory instead of a zip file. In all cases, it looks like an InputStream is used.
The JRE *does* support url based class loading...I wonder if you could use the jar:file! syntax to get an InputStream from the war and make it load jar files from it that way?

The JRE does not offer direct support for WAR semantics, such as JAR files in the WEB-INF/lib directory. Tomcat would have to, for example, have a classloader that searched the WAR file in the specified order. This would be a massive effort. That's the difference between 'stuff in a JAR' and 'stuff in a WAR'. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
