without a custom loader tomee will set its lazystopclassloader. you can extend the LazyStopLoader to activate it.
PS: which kind of hook do you need? we already have a bunch of way to enrich the classloader in tomee for instance *Romain Manni-Bucau* *Twitter: @rmannibucau <https://twitter.com/rmannibucau>* *Blog: **http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/*<http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com/> *LinkedIn: **http://fr.linkedin.com/in/rmannibucau* *Github: https://github.com/rmannibucau* 2013/7/25 Trevor Stevens <[email protected]> > No, I did not.
