Hi, This might be OT but I would appreciate any help.
The scenario I have is as follows: The application jar file is located on a remote server. When tomcat starts up, I would like to make a URL connection to the remote server and download the latest jar file and use that instead of actually placing the jar file in the WEB-INF/lib/ directory or distribute it via the war. This way, I believe I would be preventing the class files being decompiled and also if there are any updates to the jar, there will be a central location for updates. Question: 1. How do other people implement this? 2. Can I extend the webappclassloader and implement this functionality? Would appreciate any url or article or help on this topic. thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
