RE: Possible to assign different class loader for each web app with tomcat

Ok, that's strange because yesterday I had a small problem, and I assumed
that it was due to the same class being loaded on startup by 2 web apps.

I had a url endpoint loaded into a config class on startup from the web.xml,
for some reason no messages were reaching the correct end point. This config
class is also loaded by a test version of the app running under the same
tomcat as pre prod. When the second web app was loaded and its config class
was loaded and the parameter read in from the web.xml it changed the value
for both web apps.

I have not being using java or tomcat for all that long, but I would have
thought if a class loader was assigned for each web app then they would each
have their own copy of the config class? Meaning that web app1 should not
have been pointing at the end point for web app 2? If not then could you
tell me why?

Thanks

This is the case by default. No configuration is required.
