http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40929 Summary: Misleading comments in StandardClassLoader Product: Tomcat 5 Version: Unknown Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sometime during the Tomcat 5 development, the StandardClassLoader in org.apache.catalina.loader package was stripped down, and is now just a URLClassLoader. I work with code that extends the StandardClassLoader (we use the automatic reloading of jar files), and during an upgrade from tomcat 4 to tomcat 5.5 found difficultly trying to figure out what had happened to the code. I ended up having to install SVN and do a svn log to figure out why the code was removed. When the code was stripped down, the comments in the java file (and therefore in the javadoc api) remained identical, so the javadoc api for the class is very misleading. For instance, the comments say that the class implements Reloader, when it in fact does not. The class comments should be updated to reflect the state of the code. I can't see this as being very high priority, but it would likely be an easy to fix for people whom are in the code regularly, and it would make the javadoc much more readable for people that extend the StandardClassLoader for their own purposes. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
