If you are hosting a Tomcat container, it is your job to make sure that the system classpath is sane. > Is there a way to setup child-first class loading in Embedded Tomcat? Tomcat will always follow the servlet standard by searching the system classloader first, then the webapp classloader, then the parent of the webapp classloader. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html Search for the word "therefore" and you'll see it laid-out in plain English. It appears from your reference (in a followup post to your own) that you can set the context classpath of the thread that launches Tomcat and effectively change the "system" classpath as Tomcat sees it. Be careful with these things and always make sure you test everything: ClassLoading issues can cause unexpected behavior. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk2mH6QACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCiRACgv0pOl0xFGPuLOQdDBRkqjHxS Tu4AnRHS/aAs0F5jdtNIV86TT2hX7xai =PN5V -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
