5.4. Tools Class Loader

The tools class loader is a JOnAS-specific class loader that loads all classes for which applications do not require visibility (that is, user applications will not be able to load the classes packaged in the tools class loader). For example, it includes the jakarta velocity and digester components. This class loader has the commons class loader as its parent class loader.

The JARs loaded by the tools class loader are located under the JONAS_ROOT/lib/tools directory. You can extend this class loader by adding your own JARs inside this directory.
