http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39218 Summary: Wrong order in TC class loading Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.16 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I propose an enhancement for Bootstrap / ClassLoaderFactory. At the moment, TC 5.5 gives the users the choice to define their class loader configurations in catalina.properties. Each class loader is being configured via a comma seperated list of places to look for classes. Now Bootstrap and ClassLoaderFactory do something, a normal user does not expect: they do not keep the order of the entries. They rearrange all entries, such that all directories are searched first, then all *.jar type entries and at the end all URL form entries. This leads to unexpected code being loaded (e.g. in the case of adding product patches and adding instance specific classes etc.). I attach a patch, which does only slightly change the code, but includes the following changes: 1) Keep the order of entries when constructing the class loader 2) allow ${catalina.home} and ${catalina.base} not only at the beginning of tokens (useful in the case of URLs) The same patch applies to the yet unchanged classes in 6.0. If there is some interest, I can contribute a patch for 5.0 as well. I hope someone has a little spare time left to review the patch. In case the patch is being applied, I would also send some documentation for catalina.properties. One last word: TC 5.5 hs a comment # Please note that for individual jar files, e.g. bar.jar, you need the URL form # starting with file:. before shared.loader in catalina.proprties. This comment is no longer true in 5.5, even without this patch. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
