Actually I want to have two versions of POI in one web application lib (WEB-INF/lib) in Weblogic 7. One copy is customized version 0.4 included in Jive Forums and KB we have bought, it is used by Jive to perform text extraction from Word documents to index them and the other version of POI I want to use is version 2.0 for implementing text extraction from Excel files to be able to index them as well. I don't have much experience with classloading, I know only that each web app has its own classpath, so I really don't understand what are you suggesting.
However I think that I succeeded to solve my problem. I loaded 2.0 sources into IDEA and through its refactoring feature renamed package from org.apache.poi to org.apache.poi20 and compiled it and it seems to work. pa > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2005 2:18 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Building POI with different package path > > > Ummm...use an application server (such as uh...hum...JBoss) > which allows > classloader scoping such that you can scope these at classload time > without any special foo but a couple of XML files and some work on > packaging things up right? > > Andr?
