How to prioritize WEB-INF\lib jar files loading order
Hi all,
Is there a possibility to assign to Tomcat class loader priority in the way
it loads the jar in WEB-INF\lib?
My application uses axis.jar in WEB-INF\lib.
However, some classes from axis.jar had had to be rewritten (i.e. Calendar
serializer and deserializer).
I'd like to include them in my application specific jar file, which is also
in WEB-INF\lib.
It appears that Tomcat (4.1) class loader load the jars in an undocumented
and not guaranteed alphabetic order.
Though, I don't want to rely on this hypothetical behaviour.
Thanks for your help
I found a similar thread in the mailing list archive, but it has been closed
3 years ago. I hope someone got a solution in the meantime.
Regards,
ATN.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier just to replace the calsses in axis.jar
that were rewritten? Afterall a .jar is just an archive.

The classes directory has a higher precendence than the jar files.
