Please let me know if I am posting this in the wrong mailing-list. - Am trying to understand why WebAppLoader does a URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory(). - I see that a protocol handler is being set for "jndi://" protocol. Our apps' do NOT use JNDI urls. I believe tomcat 6 has NOT used the jndi url anywhere in its codebase. - What feature in tomcat will get affected if I set my factory before tomcat sets it. (Factory can be set only once). - What feature will I lose if I set my factory.
*Note* - I cannot change the webapp's code to use the overloaded java.net.URL() which takes a URLStreamHandler as an argument. (Will require code changes across 50 applications) - I cannot set the "*java.protocol.handler.pkgs*" as these classes must be present in the system classpath. (Classloader hierarchy of our app-server makes it difficult) (We run tomcat as one of the components in our server) (Similar to any j2ee server) Sriram.
