How to use Jar Scan Filters
Hi,
I'm using embedded tomcat as an OSGi bundle. In tomcat 7.0.59 we extended
the StandardJarScanner to scan some jars which are resides in a custom
location. Since these jars are needed for all the applications putting them
in WEB-INF is not applicable,
We are now trying to use Tomcat 8.0.20 with that. I saw newly introduced
Jar Scan Filter there.
Can someone give me an example code segment to show how to use
JarScanFilters?
I go through the [1]. There it mention
<JarScanner>
<JarScanFilter
pluggabilityScan="${tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanFilter.jarsToScan},
my_pluggable_feature.jar"/>
</JarScanner>
Is this can be use only to scan jars inside WEB-INF and class path?
or can I scan some jar file which are located in custom locations? (Since
those jar files are needed for all the web applications)
If it is possible how can I provide the custom path? Should I give the
absolute path?

Thanks
Best Regards
