title: Tomcat shared loader not taken into account
body: <p>To precise the context, I am using Eclipse with its workspace metadata for my <strong>Tomcat 7</strong>'s configuration.</p>
  
  <p>I have this line in my catalina.properties :</p>
  
  <pre><code>shared.loader=${catalina.home}/shared/conf
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which, should load all the files contained in ${catalina.home}/shared/conf <strong>before</strong> all the files contained in my web application (<em>WEB-INF/classes</em>).</p>
  
  <p>But this is not what I observe, the files contained in my application always override those in my shared loader (ie. <em>log4j.xml</em>, etc.).</p>
  
  <p>Any idea ?</p>
