JSTL sql tags do not work
-------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-5151
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5151
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: javaee6, osgi, Web Profile
Affects Versions: 3.0
Reporter: Jarek Gawor
Assignee: Jarek Gawor
The JSTL sql tags use DriverManager API to connect to the database. There are
well-known problems with DriverManager API and classloaders and that is exactly
what is causing the sql tags not work in OSGi environment. The core of the
problem is that the DriverManager uses the caller's classloader (in this case
the JSTL bundle classloader) to find a driver for the given url. Since JSTL
bundle does not import any database drivers, the DriverManager does not "see"
any drivers and so fails to connect to the database.
I opened https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48773 bug report
(with a patch) in the taglibs project for this issue.
