Separate Classloaders in TC3.2.1

[Gudmundur Hafsteinsson <gu...@dimonsoftware.com>]

I remember someone (Costin?) talking recently
about the possibility to start Tomcat 3.2.1 with
a separate classloader for the servlet engine and
each webapp, eliminating the possibility of version
collision of class files between the webapp and
the servlet engine (e.g. SAX and DOM classes).

Now I have two questions:
- How is this done?
- (And this is why I'm not sending this to the
  user list) Why isn't this documented or at least
  included as an example in the distribution?
Maybe I'm blind, but I can't find it anywhere!

If this feature is not tested enough, I'm willing
to participate in it, or if any coding is needed.
I can't believe this isn't bothering anyone else.
