Tomcat Class Loader Delegation

In tomcat loader, i just want to make changes that classloader loading priority is: patch lib folder, web-app lib folder, common lib loader, system lib loader, bootstrap lib loader (so we'll effectively have the patch lib loader with a higher priority than the web app lib folder). The patch lib is where i place my patches with classes which needs to override the classes in the WAR at run time.



This should work for any Tomcat web application (war file/folder), regardless of how it's created or stored (expanded war file, folder, etc).



the class loader should search for the patch jar files hosted in the J2EE property patch.shared.loader residing in the files patch.properties, available in the J2EE server path ($ {catalina.base}.



How can this be achieved without using a Java Typical Class loaders?



Thanks in advance.
