Can someone clarify something about the Context element's "privileged" attribute in Tomcat 6.0? In Tomcat 5.5 setting privileged="true" would set the application's parent class loader to the Catalina loader so that the app could access the server classes. The default is privileged="false" and so normal apps don't see these classes.
In Tomcat 6, if I understand the documentation, all the server class jars are handled by the common loader (which can see the server jars), and that means that in effect all applications are running as if privileged by default. More than that, even explicitly setting privileged="false" won't switch this behaviour off. The only way to change that would be to move the server jars to another directory and modify the catalina.properties. Is that right, or am I missing something about how 6.0 deals with this? If this is the way things are, doesn't that mean that 6.0 is not in line with the Servlet API spec? --Pete --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
