Subject: Re: Including jar files in my
web app ?
Hi Eddie,
I have been experiencing the same
classpath-related problems.
Searching through this maillinglist i found out
more people have
problems with this.
One thing that seems to be working is starting
orion without -jar orion.jar
but with com.evermind.server.ApplicationServer
but still it seems you need to
put all application-specific classes in the
classpath before starting orion because
when i put <classpath path="./WEB-INF/lib/"
/> in my orion-web.xml (where i
have a jar-file containing application-specific
classes in the WEB-INF/lib-dir.) and
startup orion with just the normal orion-jars and
without the application-specific
classes in the classpath he still can't find the
classes.
But when i put them in the classpath when starting orion, there are no problems.
But when only this way works, what's the use of
the <classpath../>-tag (and other
classpath/library-related tags) when it's not working anyway without putting them
all in the classpath before starting orion
?
So my question also is, is there a standard way,
not putting al the application-classes
in the classpath before starting orion, of
solving these kind of classpath-problems?
Because this way, when i add a new application i
also may have to change my startup-script
which can't be how it's supposed to be, or at
least i think so.(?)
Any help and/or thoughts on this matter would be
greatly appreciated!
Jasper.

web app ?
Hi Magnus and others ofcourse,
It has been a while since this issue passed by,
but that is because we have been struggling with it since.
I am still not able to include jar files that I
put in my WEB-INF/lib dir, particular: velocity.jar.
Also someone else in this newsgroup has been
busy with it, on orion 1.4.7, on the same application on a different machine
and has the same problem.
BTW: I am able to use the jar when i put it in
orion/config/application.xml with <library path...> it works but it
contains a static class and I need one for every application.
Everytime
I get the error that it can't find the class
(ClassDefNotFound).
What I tried:
- Just putting them in the WEB-INF/lib dir, but
it can't find it.
- putting the velocity.jar in other places,
like in the root of the application.
- jar file in the WEB-INF/lib and putting
the following tag in the orion-web.xml:
<classpath path="./WEB-INF/lib/" />
- and also tried
<classpath path="./WEB-INF/lib/velocity.jar" />
- unpacking the jar and putting it in the WEB-INF/classes dir where the
servlets are located in packages that I call through servlet ref's
- When I put the WEB-INF/lib/velocity.jar in the CLASSPATH, yes it does
find it, but then all applications find the same velocity.jar and that
doesn't work.!!!
- Tried to include the jar int the META-INF/application.xml:
<module>
<ejb>/opt/Orion/lib/counter.jar</ejb>
</module>
but
is than complains:
-------
Error auto-deploying application-client at velocity.jar: Unable to
find/read assembly info for /home/development/sgs/velocity.jar
(META-INF/application-client.xml)
--------
The file exists and has the necessary tags, only it is empty as I don't
know what to put in it.
- I find in the newsgroup archive, that solved the problem by starting
orion with:
com.evermind.server.ApplicationServer insted through orion.jar
- I think I tried some more things.... but reallu nothing worked.
PLEASSE tell me how I can see where Orion looks for the jar file, as
this problem is really driving my comletely nuts...!!
I found a lot of little things about this subject. I tried about
everyting, but nothing helped. I lost the logic here, so hope that someone
can help me out, here, otherwise I .....
Eddie :(
