Hi all,
A question, I can't solve that....
Tested with Tomcat 9.0.41, java 8 x64, linux (Fedora 32).
I have a standard tomcat web.xml (3.0 or 3.1, no matter).
I have created an external simple servlet with @WebServlet annotation,
and packaged it to a jar file:
@WebServlet(name = "TestServlet", urlPatterns = {"/TestServlet"}, loadOnStartup
= 1)
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final Logger log =
Logger.getLogger(TestServlet.class.getName());
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Override
public void init() throws ServletException {
log.setLevel(Level.ALL);
log.log(Level.WARNING, "TESTSERVLET INIT");
super.init();
}
@Override
public void destroy() {
}
@Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException {
processRequest(req, resp);
}
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
try {
out.println("<!DOCTYPE html>");
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Servlet TestServlet</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<h1>Servlet TestServlet at " + request.getContextPath() +
"</h1>");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
} finally {
out.close();
}
}
}
So, if I copy the .jar file inside WEB-INF/lib folder of destination war
project the log message will appears and the servlet is reachable.
But, if I copy the .jar file inside tomcat/lib folder the annotation
won't be processed.
FYI, in tomcat 7 both cases (inside WEB-INF/lib and tomcat/lib) works well.
I searched on breaking changes between tomcat 7 and 8/8.5/9 but nope.
Seems related to jarscanner.....but no luck!
Because my servlet is in common to all projects I want to put it inside
tomcat/lib folder and share it to all my projects
Somebody can help me?
Many thanks,
Agharta
