Gulli --
Thanks for your excellent explanation. However, it is our intention to
allow you to place a single copy of xalan.jar in ${tomcat_home}/lib
where it is available to all webapps but allow you to place
application-specific extensions in the ${webapp}/?.war file or in a
${webapp}/WEB-INF/lib/?.jar file or in a
${webapp}/WEB-INF/classes/?.class file. You should also be allowed to
place general (ie non-application specific) extensions in
${tomcat_hom}/lib or other directories in Tomcat's classpath.
The Xalan extension mechanism is designed to use the webapp's (to be
more precise the current thread's) context class loader to load the
extension regardless of where xalan.jar is placed.
This is what I'm investigating. Any additional comments are
appreciated.
