You should move up, just on general principles - as well as for the bunch of fixes that have gone in over the last two years. > Is there a way to include a directory outside WEB-INF/ into > the classpath of the WebappClassLoader? Yes, but it's not documented, so test it carefully. You can nest a <Loader> element inside your <Context> that specifies an alternate classloader: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/loader.html Set the value of the className attribute to "org.apache.catalina.loader.VirtualWebappLoader". Use the virtualClasspath attribute to specify a semicolon-separated list of the additional files or directories you want added to the WebappClassLoader classpath.
