No way to configure/extend runtime classloaders.

           Summary: No way to configure/extend runtime classloaders.
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.3 Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: max@alleged.net


A nice feature would be a way to configure the runtime classloaders 
(specifically the Shared one) to load/monitor other directories in addition to 
or instead of the hardcoded $CATALINA_HOME/lib.  Looking at the code, this 
shouldn't be altogether a difficult change, and I would be willing to write a 
patch.  This change would keep the system classpath out the way to prevent 
silly problems, but still allow some extension mechanism.
