How to load externalized font extensions to application class path programmatically using java

[MariappanPandy]

We have a requirment (PDF genration) to keep the font extensions (xml and ttf files) outside of application so that it can be updated or added by client  as they want.  

Unfortunately i couldn't find a way to load these font extensions in application at tomcat server start up and keeping it in application path.  User guide also didn't specify on this .

 Is it something doable?. If yes, how it can be done.

Note: We don't want to export these font extensions as JAR file and keep it in application lib.

Appreciate your inputes

Your question is more on restriction by Tomcat rather than about JasperReports. It would be better if you ask your question at Apache Tomcat forum instead of here.

For all I know, that's not possible but may be worth a try asking at Tomcat forum.

I am able to load and register externalized font extensions through programmatically  but it fails when i ty to get Guice instantialed class from extension registry factory.

Any inputs on how google  GUICE instantialed classes can be retrieved in jasper registery code?
