-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1Just a short question. When resolving the URL for a resource via UtilUrl.fromResource(String resourceName, ClassLoader loader) why is it implemented that the most specific match is the last one? See below? if (url == null) url = loader.getResource(resourceName); if (url == null) url = loader.getResource(resourceName + ".properties"); This results in a problem, when eg. calling UtilProperties.getPropertyValue("catalog", "image.server.path"). Scenario: I have another jar in the classpath that contains a "catalog" folder. I expect to get the property from catalog.properties but the result is a "catalog" URL from my other jar, which does not include anything useful and results in NullPointerExceptions in OFBiz.
The bug here is not the ordering of those lines, but the calling code requesting just 'catalog'. The calling code should directly request 'catalog.properties'.
There was a similiar bug years(ages) ago, where calling code requested 'security', instead of 'security.properties'. As you can imagine, 'security' is a rather general term, and it clashed with other locations.
