I have a problem. I have two webapps running on Tomcat. The first one has no problems reading from its classes directory for resource files like .properties The second one however is throwing missing resource bundle exceptions and insists it cannot find bundle for base name WEB. But I do have a WEB.properties file in the second one's classes directory. The solution? Put the file in the %catalina_home%\classes directory. But when I try to use the WEB.properties file in jsp for the first webapp, it ends up reading the one in the %catalina_home%\classes directory!! Anybody know how to make tomcat get resources for the second webapp from its classes directory and not fall back to reading the %catalina_home%\classes directory? [...] I am not sure, I guess java.util.ResourceBundle will ask the "current-classloader" to begin to "get Bundle", is it is right, then: - in your second webapp(webapp2), if you try to "get Bundle" while the "current-classloader" is "Share-classloader"(you try to "get Bundle" in a object whose Class is loaded by "Share-classloader"), now your WEB.properties(in webapp2's WEB-INF/classes) will not be found because "Share-classloader" is "upper" than "webapp2 classloader". - in your first webapp(webapp1), if you still have a copy of your WEB.properties in webapp1's WEB-INF/classes while you put another copy of your WEB.properties in %CATALINA_HOME%\classes, then becuase in TOMCAT4.0, the webapp-classloader will first try to load class from WEB-INF/classes, then try to load class by delegating "upper" classloader(s), so now the WEB.properties in %CATALINA_HOME%\classes will not be read. you can find the doc of classloader of TOMCAT4.0 in: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html (there are other HOW-TO in:) http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/index.html Bo Jan.18, 2002 -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
