How to configure custom class loader ?

[tanu dua]

Hi,

I have created my custom class loader for my web application , but I ma not able to understand how to configure that in Tomcat so that when my web application classes are loaded it should be loaded from my custom class loader.

Please help

Thanks

As the name 'custom' suggests, it is pretty much up to you how these things should be done.

Have you read:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html
?

Typically, any code that needs to be run when an application is started is triggered from a context listener.
