I did a little digging in the Glassfish source.
Lo and behold it uses the same old classes from Tomcat that I subclass and extend, namely org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader, org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext, and org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader.
Is there a simple way I can tell Glassfish to use my own subclasses of these classes for my web app [as there is for Tomcat]?
