http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17517 Embedded Catalina does not use context classloader Summary: Embedded Catalina does not use context classloader Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.1.18 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows 9x Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Catalina begins its chain of classloaders starting with the system classloader instead of the initial thread's context classloader. When embedding Catalina from a thread that uses a classloader that is not the system classloader but instead a descendant, a jsp class cannot be found by the WebAppClassLoader. The missing class is loaded in the initial thread's context classloader. After taking a cursory look at the code, it appears that Catalina does not assure that the initial context classloader is an ancestor to the classloaders it creates. The end result is that the embedded Catalina serves static html pages but not jsp pages. The application needs to be shielded from the components that Catalina uses, which contain different versions of classes used by the application, so it cannot simply load the Catalina components in the system classloader. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
