Hi Mark, thanks for your reply. I'm now using a custom Host implementation. Instead of adding the hostConfigClass attribute etc. I overwrote addLifecycleListener (replacing the default HostConfig by my custom HostConfig) so I am also no longer dependent on this hostConfigClass rule.

It was not removed. It was added to 5.5.x after the 6.0.x development branch was created from 5.5.x and the feature was never added to 6.0.x (and hence is not part of 6.0.x, 7.0.x or trunk). > Is hostConfigClass only a "internal" attribute in tomcat 7.x.x?

The simplest way may well be to provide a custom Host implementation that extends StandardHost and adds the hostConfigClass attribute, getter and setter.
