title: Add items to application (WAR) classpath in WebLogic 10?
body: <p>My shop has been running Oracle's Application Server for several years. As such, before we knew better, we have developed a norm of having application config files stored outside of the WAR file and the app-specific config directory is added to each application using an Oracle-specific deployment descriptor. This deployment descriptor allows us to add classpath elements at the application layer rather than having to include all dependencies in the WAR.</p>
  
  <p>Now we are faced with upgrading to WebLogic 10.3 and I need to find an alternative for our applications that depend on external configs.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way in WebLogic to add external jars or directories to the classloader at the application level? I've found ways to add them to the system classloader, but I'd prefer to add them to the application level to avoid having to re-work the applications beyond modifying deployment descriptors.</p>
  
  <p>Is such a thing possible in WebLogic 10?</p>
