So is there an easy way to reverse or specify the order? xerces et.al. have a different release schedule and may or may not be picked up by Orion. I would rather it be under my control. - Kit -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Hani Suleiman Sent: Sunday, July 15, 2001 2:39 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Re: Does Orion root .jar files interfere with my web-app WEB-INF/libjar files? Order of loading is: Entries explicitly in the root classloader (specified by Class-Path in orion.jar's MANIFEST.MF), which is most of what is in the orion/ directory. Next is orion/lib Next is application specific classes, and I think WEB-INF/lib has precedence over WEB-INF/classes Hani On Sun, 15 Jul 2001, Kevin Duffey wrote: > Hey all, > > I am wondering..Orion comes with xerces, parser, jaxp and so on in the > <root> dir.
