Hi, I see here that there is an option for the webapp-specific classloader to use parent-first classloading instead of the (default) child-first classloading.
Can someone suggest why this might be useful? Clearly someone thought so, but I can't see any point in it. It is in catalina since version 1.1 (committer: Remy Maucherat). See "delegate" option in this page: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/loader.html Using this option makes life exceedingly complicated for some libs like commons-beanutils and commons-logging, so I would like to know under what conditions someone might enable this feature.
