Last week, I think, someone wrote in with a problem they were having with WebWork in WebLogic with configuration, and I didn't understand what the problem was. Now I do.
The problem I'm having is this: We've now got 2 war files which use WebWork which are deployed as part of a single ear file. I've also got some base classes and utils which are in a util jar file which is in the ear file and referenced from the war files via the manifest classpath. WebWork is also deployed as a jar file in the ear file and referenced in the manifest of the war files. If WebWork is deployed in the WEB-INF/lib of the war files, then the ear classloader can't find the WebWork classes when it loads the files from the util jar file, and I get NoClassDefFoundErrors. The problem here is that Configuration keeps a static reference to the ConfigurationImpl, so if you have multiple web apps using WebWork, whichever one gets loaded first will load its configuration, and the other web apps will be unable to find their configuration. My suggestion is to make the Configuration storage pluggable, with a default StaticConfigurationStore, and store the Configuration in the ServletContext somehow... Still working that part out.... Thoughts? Suggestions?
