Hi Matt, Since I was working with legacy code, I don;t wanted to any code.
I found that org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader was setting the URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory() with DirContextURLStreamHandlerFactory, basically jndi stream handler. I updated this file rebuild the class & placed it in %TOMCAT_HOME%/server/classes directory so as to force classloader to load my class. Now my custom URLStreamHandler is getting picked up properly. Since WebAppLoader is using it for dealing with jndi://, I don't see any issues with that my app seems to work fine. Thanks, Praveen M.
