We often find ourselves bumping up against something when we need to read classpath resources from a JAR within another JAR; in fact, this is why we don't deploy webapps as WARs, and we've also had similar problems with the classworlds "uberjar" mechanism which makes JARs for standalone execution along a model similar to WARs. Has anyone ever seen formal documentation of this issue? We've always just worked around it.
The particular version of Tomcat used by this hosting provider is broken ( i.e. it has bugs) with reference to this issue -- it is supposed to work. And I know from experience it works correctly on 5.0.x versions. Craig
The bottom line, it is better to hide DTDs in the JAR, but in case it >does not work a readily available HOW-TO should be provided.
