Not from the configuration alone, unless you are happy to add it to the 'common' or 'shared' loader (and, yes, the shared loader exists in TC 6, it just doesn't do anything by default). Otherwise, the only way is to create a custom Loader that calls addRepository on the WebAppClassLoader with the external location (as a URL string). Note that custom Loaders aren't as well supported as other custom classes at the moment, so this may require additional coding to get it to work (i.e. the parent classloader isn't automagically assigned). > I'd like to add a URL to the search path of the web context classloader, > so > that in the above example, resource.properties from some URL is seen by > the > web application.
