[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2503?page=comments#action_12443984 ] Dain Sundstrom commented on GERONIMO-2503: ------------------------------------------
This fix broke deployment of any war file that kept the Servlet implementation classes in WEB-INF/classes. I fixed this in GERONIMO-2511. > Webapp classloader prefers WEB-INF/lib over WEB-INF/classes > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-2503 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2503 > Project: Geronimo > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: web > Affects Versions: 1.1.1, 1.1 > Environment: windows and linux, jetty and tomcat > Reporter: Nikla Ratinen > Assigned To: Rick McGuire > Fix For: 1.1.2, 1.2 > > Attachments: patch.txt, test.war > > > Application classloader looks in WAR's WEB-INF/lib before WEB-INF/classes. > This is in violation of servlet 2.4 (and 2.3) specification, 9.5 Directory > Structure, which states: > "TheWeb application class loader must load classes from the WEB-INF/ classes > directory first, and then from library JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory." > This behaviour prevents web application from overriding classes and resources > from included libraries. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
