According to http://yzb.hit.edu.cn/docs/class-loader-howto.html, everything in the system classpath will be visible to webapps, and hence will override the classes in the webapps, I think. So, the solution would be to implement a bootstrap mechanism, just like org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap, is it?
