: Then what's the solution? I've tried moving the jar from common/lib to : WEB-INF/lib, but that didn't help. Unjarring the files into : WEB-INF/classes didn't work, either.
When you say "the jar," you mean "the jar containing my servlet classes," correct?
Right.
> That should work. You restarted Tomcat after this
change, right?
And restarted and shutdown and started and restarted... :)
You could also clear the work/ dir to be certain.
I'll try that---it wouldn't cache a jar, would it?
-and if I may ask, why'd you put the servlet classes in common/lib?
I was planning on using the same set of libraries for multiple web apps---the jar in question had more than just servlets for a single web app.
But, to take this issue out of the equation, I've tried putting the jar in WEB-INF/lib (where I assume you would say it should go) to no avail.
: How can I programmatically reference the appropriate classloader from : within my servlet so that I can access property files in : WEB-INF/classes?
You don't. =) That would, in some sense, defeat the purpose of having each webapp live in its own classloader.
Now this doesn't make sense to me. Let's say I have the following JSP:
/index.jsp
This index.jsp file can load resources just fine from WEB-INF/classes.
Now let's say I delete index.jsp and create a class called IndexServlet, and map it to /index . From that servlet, I attempt to load a resource bundle from WEB-INF/classes---it doesn't work!
But in the first instance the web container takes index.jsp and creates its own servlet---*that* is what really gets called from the container. If I look in work/ and find the servlet behind index.jsp, I see the same code to load a resource bundle from WEB-INF/classes, which works.
So let me restate my question: how can I allow my servlets to load the same resource bundle (from the same location) that my JSP can load? Because, after all, behind the scenes a JSP *is* a servlet!
Surely the web container doesn't use a different classloader for container-generated servlets and user-created servlets in the same context---does it? (And if it does, where should I put my resource bundles so that the user-created servlets can access them?)
