Tomcat 8 classloading

[saurabh tiwari]

Hi There,

We are about to upgrade from tomcat-7.0.65 to tomcat-8.0.XX. and this is
regarding the loading of same JARs within the different application. to
understand the scenario, consider below case

Tomcat 8 ---
        webapps
            a.war--> lib--> spring.jar
            b.war--> lib--> spring.jar

here b.war is just a copy of a.war and renamed just to differentiate hence
spring.jar is same for both the applications.

My question is

1) will spring.jar loaded twice
2) how to i make sure to load it only once ( if loaded twice)



Thanks,
