Hi: I'm trying to create a CustomClassLoader that I could use as my Web App's classloader. But I've been unsuccessful so far.
The problem: ========================================================== When I create a JSP with the content : <% Class clazz = Class.forName("com.testing.junk.Cyber"); Object anObject = clazz.newInstance(); String value = anObject.toString(); %> The text is <%=value%> =========================================================== I get the exception: =========================================================== root cause java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.testing.junk.Cyber org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1352) org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1198) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JasperLoader.loadClass(JasperLoader.java:127) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JasperLoader.loadClass(JasperLoader.java:65) java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319) java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:164) org.apache.jsp.test_jsp._jspService(org.apache.jsp.test_jsp:44) org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:97) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:332) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:314) org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:264) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) =========================================================== Here's what I'm doing: 1. I've read the documents at : http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html and http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html 2. I've created the class MyClassLoader which extends WebappClassLoader and placed it at This class calls super.addRepository("d:/temp/bin/") via its constructors. 3. I've placed MyClassLoader at ${catalina.home}/server/classes 4. My ${catalina.home}/webapps/test.xml file has the contents <Context docBase="d:/temp/test" privileged="false" antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false"> <Loader classname="com.testing.tomcat.loader.ConfigurableClasspathWebappClassLoader" classpathEntriesFile="d:\\temp\\abc.properties" /> </Context> 5. The class com.testing.junk.Cyber is placed at d:/temp/bin -- Sriram --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
