Hello,

Q1:
I have a JSP tag library which uses the ECS library from apache. Both my tag
library and ECS reside as *.jar files in /WEB-INF/lib. When my test page is
loaded, the initialization code of ECS reads a property file from the jar
with the following statement:

static {
  try


   resource = ResourceBundle.getBundle("org.apache.ecs.ecs");
  }
  catch(Exception e)
  {
   System.err.println("Cannot find org.apache.ecs.ecs.properties.");
  }
 }

Even though the file org.apache.ecs.ecs.properties is in the jar file, the
error message is printed out, the resource variable is not set, and I get a
NullPointerException later on. I have this very same configuration running
under Tomcat. However, I have seen previous versions of Tomcat having
problems accessing implicitly (through placement in /WEB-INF/lib) mapped jar
files via getClassForName() and getResource(). Could it be that Orion has a
similar problem? If not, why is ECS unable to read the properties file from
its own jar under Orion?

Q2:
Do I get any further docs when I buy the product? If not, when is the
documentation going to be improved?

thanks, Christian Sell
