I have this problem when using iBatis within in an EAR (I posted this in the JBoss Forum but so far no solution):
my.ear
my.jar
my.jar/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
lib/ibatis*.jar
my.jar/com/blah/blah/mapfile.xml
The MANIFEST.MF file has Class-Path: lib/ibatis*.jar etc. When the EAR gets deployed, the getResourceReader() can not find the map files within the my.jar file! It seems that getResourceReader("com/blah
/balh") can't find it in the current
classpath. I noticed that the iBatis Resource object is using the
current thread's context classloader which I'm not sure seems right to
me for this scenario.
If I set the currentThread.setContextClassLoader() to my objects class loader, it can then find the map files witin the JAR but then can't find a typeHandler class in a common library outside the EAR (EARs are scoped). So this isn't going to work for me.
Any clue on how to solve this or how I should load map files witin a module in an EAR deployment? What's the best practices regarding iBatis and EAR files?
Thanks!
