Classloader issue - additional info

[Juergen Baumann]

I use Tomcat 3.2 under Windows2000 Pro. ----- Original Message ----- From: Juergen Baumann To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 12:36 PM Subject: Classloader issue I try to load files in an InputStream (using ClassLoader) in the init() method of a Servlet that is loaded on startup. The files reside in a .jar file that contains all the classes as well. Using ClassLoader works fine in a stand-alone application, however, as soon as I try to make it work together with Tomcat using Servlets, I get the message: cannot load Servlet: ... Here is the relevant code.   Thanks a lot in advance, JB     init() method of Servlet: ------------------------- ... try {   Items items_F = new Items("test1");   context.setAttribute(Items.F_KEY, items_F);  } catch (IOException e) {   context.log("No item property file" , e);   return;  } ....   Items class: ------------   public Items(String name) throws IOException {    this.items = new Properties();  InputStream is;    if (name.equals("text1") ) {   is = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("items/items.text1");  } else if (name.equals("text2") ) {   is = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("items/items.text2");  } ...  this.items.load(is);  is.close();  }
