Note

This feature is not available on all containers! Currently, the only containers that support shared classpaths are:

JBoss 5.x to 6.1.x (inclusive)
All JBoss 7.x and 7.1.xx containers and all WildFly containers; by modifying your application's MANIFEST.MF file (read more on the how to put an external file in the classpath article from the JBoss website)
Jetty 6.x and onwards
All Tomcat containers

On other containers, please change the container classpath instead.

Starting a WAR on Tomcat 6.x with some additional classpath entries:

Code Block

	xml
	xml

<cargo containerId="tomcat6x" home="/srv/tomcat/catalina-home" action="start">
  <sharedClasspath>
    <fileset dir="/opt/grails">
      <include name="*.jar"/>
