Adding ClassLoader to the Tomcat
I have a JAR file with most of the business logic. My web application, developed in Spring MVC, uses that JAR file. To secure the JAR file, I used JarCryp. JarCryp has created a .sjar file from the JAR file. Now, to load the JAR file from Tomcat, I have aded to the Tomcat context.i.e.Added following line to context.xml
<Loader className="ComponioSampleClassLoader" ></Loader>
Where ComponioSampleClassLoader class has extended org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.
Now, when I start the tomcat, I get following error
INFO: Deploying configuration descriptor host-manager.xml

Just struggled with the same problem for a couple of HOURS...
You need to extend from WebappLoader (org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader) not WebappClassLoader.
You'll notice the constructors for both are the same, so your constructors would most likely not need to change when making this change.
package tomcat7;
import org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader;
public class Tomcat7CustomWebappLoader extends WebappLoader {
public Tomcat7CustomWebappLoader() {
super();
}
public Tomcat7CustomWebappLoader(ClassLoader parent) {
super(parent);
}
}
The extension from WebappLoader is also evident when looking at the "VirtualWebappLoader" (org.apache.catalina.loader.VirtualWebappLoader) Loader implementation packaged with Tomcat.
No experience with your specific use case unfortunately, but a Loader needs to extend WebappLoader.
