title: How to programmatically override / change endorsed standards in Java?
body: <p>In this document: <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/standards/" rel="nofollow">http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/standards/</a> it is describing only a single non programmatic way to override endorsed standards in Java (e.g. to provide a different TransformerFactory implementation etc...). by putting the jars in <code>&lt;java-home&gt;\lib\endorsed</code></p>
  
  <p><strong>Is there a way to spefify an endorsed jar programmatically?</strong> (looking at Tomcat's endorsed dir, I assume it is possible, after all Tomcat is written in Java)</p>
