This is one of those rare instances where you actually could extend the Tomcat classpath with a reference to your config directory, as long as you don't mind sharing those resources across all your webapps and don't mind restarting Tomcat to change the config. I wouldn't put any class files in that directory, though. The common/endorsed directory still works, since that's handled by the JVM, not Tomcat. The value is given to the JVM via the java.endorsed.dirs system property; the catalina.bat and catalina.sh scripts will set that property based on the contents of the JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS environment variable. If you set JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS=$HOME/etc/config/ either before starting Tomcat or in setenv.sh, it should work, although again, this will be shared across all webapps. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
