Hi Ulrich,
I think you should get them working by placing the classes in the
CATALINA_HOME/common/classes folder or the jars in the lib folder. This
would share the classes in all web apps. There you would be giving the
information of the catalina and system class loaders.
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.home}/common/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
I am not sure if this is what you want. Actually I am trying to use
classes from outside catalina.home and am trying to figure out if that
is practically possible. Please update me if you have any solutions
thanks
pradeep
