RE: Orion CLASSPATH
I believe it is internally setting it. When I transported the Orion and Orion Primer examples (www.jollem.com) to Jboss (www.jboss.org) as a learning exercise, I had to define the package settings externally in my classpath for jboss. For Orion, I didn't have to do this, but I don't know what's really going on under the hood. -Original Message- From: Geoffrey Marshall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 11:30 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Orion CLASSPATH Hello all! Can anyone tell me what Orion is doing with the CLASSPATH. I suspect it is building its own or adding to mine simply because it knows how to find certain jars that I have not specified anywhere.

RE: Orion CLASSPATH
Have a look at META-INF/MANIFEST.MF inside orion.jar, and you'll see Orion's classpath. Orion uses its own set of classloaders, which have nice features like automatically picking up any jar/zips from orion/lib, so you just drop things in there and they work.

Any info appreciated... do yourself a favour and read up on jars and manifest headers, especially the class-path header (which orion uses). IMHO you are shooting yourself in the foot not knowing or using it. in most cases working with a classpath is plain bs especially in development environments where you frequently use different combinations/versions of libs.

RE: Orion CLASSPATH
The orion jar is using the jar extension mechanism. If you look at orion.jar's manifest, you'll see what jars are being added to the classpath automatically. You can read more about the jar extension mechanism on Sun's site.

Re: Orion CLASSPATH
I beleive that orion.jar has a classpath set in the manifest file. Take a look at manifest.mf in the orion jar.
