http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14332 RequestUtils.applicationClass problem with ContextClassLoader Summary: RequestUtils.applicationClass problem with ContextClassLoader Product: Struts Version: 1.1 Beta 2 Platform: All OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Utilities AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When the Struts example shipped is loaded, it initializes some resources as static fields. However when loading these classes, it uses the RequestUtils.applicationClass method, and this method uses the ContextClassLoader to lookup the requested class. But because it is loading the classes in a static field, it cannot be sure that the ContextClassLoader has all classes from f.x. WEB-INF/lib loaded. I'm using the Trifork app. server, and it gets a ClassNotFoundException from a class contained in the struts.jar, but if i use Tomcat it seems to work fine, that's because (I presume) the ContextClassLoader is null at the time. "Snippet from RequestUtils" // Look up the class loader to be used ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); if (classLoader == null) { classLoader = RequestUtils.class.getClassLoader(); } A solution to the problem could be, if you look at the forum for Hibernate it has a good description how to use the ContextClassLoader in a multiple classloader environment (an app.server f.x.) http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=1720229 please notify me if you want further information Kjeld Froberg Software Engineer Trifork -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-dev-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-dev-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
