Access to shared classloader from common classes

[Antony Bowesman <ad...@teamware.com>]

Hi,

We have a realm implementation that authenticates against a user
repository in an EJB container.  To do this it uses some proxy classes
to connect to the EJB container.  These proxies are also used by web
applications.

Thus, these proxy class are in the common/lib directory.  However, this
means that a lot of the webapp client framework has to go in the
common/lib directory and not in the shared webapp directory where it
should be.

I need to change but am not sure how the small authentication component
(called by the realm implementation) which is in common/lib can find the
webapp shared classloader to load the relevant proxy classes.

Is there any (legal) way I can get the webapp shared classloader from
the catalina startup classes.

Rgds
Antony
