Re: [jetty-users] classloading problems with custom authenticator

[Jan Bartel <janb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill,

I assume you're setting up the custom authenticator in a context xml
file, in which case the classloader in play is NOT the webapp
classloader, as that is initialized after the application of the
context xml file. So it wouldn't work anyway to include your custom
class inside the webapp - it would have to be external to the webapp.
So you're correct that you can drop your custom authenticator jar into
lib/ext, or better yet make a module which is the best way to promote
reuse.

cheers
Jan
