Hello Everyone, I am new to web programming in general, and took it upon myself to learn servlet programming with wicket. I am using tomcat as my target environment, because it is much more likely to resemble a production system than Jetty is. (I do however have a running quickstart environment for reference, and think it's a great learning aid, keep it up!)
The local java community helped me find out that I can't keep the wicket jar files under $CATALINA_BASE/shared/lib as the tomcat documentation suggests, because the ContextParamWebApplicationFactory uses the default classloader instead of the context classloader set up by tomcat. It has been discussed before near here: http://www.mail-archive.com/wicket-develop@lists.sourceforge.net/msg07325.html I was just wondering what came of it, and where do I chalk up a "me too": an init-param to instruct WicketServlet which classloader to use would be nice. If there is such a thing as a wicket-on-tomcat-howto, it should probably mention you have to keep a copy of the wicket jars under WEB-INF/lib of each webapp for now. And that you must enable reflection, or turn the security manager off altogether in tomcat for wicket PropertyModels to work. And that unit tests attempting to instantiate wicket classes outside a servlet container need the commons-logging.jar on their classpath to run. And whatever I'm gonig to come across today :-) Gabor Szokoli ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
