http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25088 WebappClassLoader.getResource returns wrong location Summary: WebappClassLoader.getResource returns wrong location Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.0.14 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If ClassLoader.getResource() is called specifying a .class file that is located within a jar file, the Tomcat5 WebappClassLoader will return a URL pointing to a work directory which may not exist and which will never contain the requested class file. There is a comment in the method that says "copy binary content to work directory if not present", but there is no copying done -- nor should there be for .class files. findResourceInternal() has already copied all non-class content from the jar file into the work directory (when the first request for a non-class resource within a given jar is resolved). getResource() needs to examine the name of the resource and avoid modifying the URL returned if the resource is a .class file (for consistency with logic in findResourceInternal(). The current behavior is inconsistent with previous versions of Tomcat and the JDK classloaders. My application relies on the ability to retrieve a URL for a .class resource in order to construct a classpath to be used with a Java compiler when compiling dynamically generated Java. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
