.ear files + library tags + DB drivers

[Greg Matthews]

i've sort of had success with this but been unable to install the database driver jar file using this technique.   i suspect it's a classloader order problem.   i receive an error message from orion   "Error initializing data-source ..... 'com.inet.tds.TdsDriver' not found.   1. when i put Una2000.jar (the db driver jar) in the orion lib directory     i receive no error messages.   2. the other jars that i have bundled with the .ear file seem to be     accessible through the <library> entry i created in the     orion-application.xml file.   is there some trick in getting the library stuff processed before orion starts checking datasources, etc.   thanks, greg.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Drury To: Orion-Interest Sent: Friday, June 08, 2001 11:20 PM Subject: RE: simplifying EAR deployment   Greg,   put the 3rd party jars in $EAR_ROOT/lib then edit your orion-application.xml file (in $EAR_ROOT/META-INF or $EAR_ROOT/orion for slightly older versions of orion) adding: <library path="./lib" />.  If you don't have orion-application.xml, deploy your app once and grab the auto-generated copy from orion/application-deployment/yourapp.  put the copy in your source tree, edit it, and add it to your ear for subsequent deployments.   -tim efnet #java joeblowgt -----Original Message----- From: Greg Matthews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2001 8:44 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: simplifying EAR deployment dear all,   is there any way to have 3rd party jar files included in an EAR then deployed into the orion\lib directory.   i'm trying to minimise the number of steps our clients have to perform when installing our app.   thanks, greg
