Changing this would cause more problems that fixing the environment. My
aplogies for wasting time. Closing the issue.

I found many other issues trying to create a Cocoon PAR for SAP Portal. I am
currently trying to make a Cocoon EAR. (ant is not being nice.) The expected
political issues about deploying an EAR did not happen. Using an EAR will
require more work to integrate security, but that seems easier than creating a
PAR. I will close this issue if the EAR solves our needs.

I'm not quiet sure, but you could perhaps set the thread context class loader
to the class loader you need. Cocoon itself uses the thread context class
loader in all places, so if you set this before you call Cocoon, it should work
i think.

Hi Carlsten,
I changed the code and comment for this entry after thinking for a moment.
Thanks for the quick response.
My environment is SAP Portal. The best method to install Cocoon would be as a
servlet in the WAS, but that is politically improbable so I am converting
Cocoon to a PAR. ("Portal Archive" PAR = SAP Portal's corruption of the EAR
standard. I have not investigated Sun's "Provider Archive" PAR.) A PAR may be
more flexible than a servlet. SAP does not worry about standards so this will
be fun. My effort should also discover issues typically unnoticed by people
using the Jetty or Tomcat environments (as in yesterday's report.)
Adding the correct directories to the ClassLoader would be good, but I have yet
to find a method to create the directory paths to where the files are located.
The files in a PAR are distributed to several directories. The SAP method is
to use "ResourceBundles", but that is more customization than should be
necessary.
Next is architecting how to call getResource from ClassUtils using the
ServletContext rather than the ClassLoader because the ClassLoader cannot find
files in the JAR calling it. Creating a generic solution is difficult because
Cocoon isolates the servlet class. I may void the warranty with that patch.

In some scenarios Cocoon uses its own class loader, that's why the context
class loader is used. And for exactly this reason it must be used first.
Now usually the class loader set as the context class loader has the default
class loader (or the webapp class loader) as parent.
So if your class in on the usual class path, it should be found anyway.
Can you give more information about your problem/environment etc.?
