Hello!
I have an issue that seems not supported anymore with Tomcat 8.
The same problem is also posted in the comments on:
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/resources.html
PROBLEM:
We used the virtualWebAppLoader to get some extra libraries and classes that
were on the machine on the classloader.
The virtualClasspath-property of the virtualWebAppLoader was a ';'-seperated
list of directories. If one of them was empty, that was not a problem.
We used the fact that non-existing/empty directories were not loaded, without
any exception. MQ were imported on
Test-acceptance-production. However, in a local/dev-setup we do not provide
these libraries, since MQ-services are stubbed out.
We used the {Jar|File|Dir}ResourceSet in the context.xml as replacement for the
virtualWebAppLoader, as recommended by the migration guide.
However, these fail when the base-property is non-existent. Therefore, it
breaks dev/local.
In the comments in
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/resources.html a solution was
posted to extend the {Jar|File|Dir}ResourceSet.
However, that solution won't work for us, since we can't provide the
tomcat-instances on test-acc-prd with an extra class/library with the extended
class. (access-rights/cloud-solution only allows default setup).
PREFERRRED SOLUTION:
Just like the tomcat 7 virtualWebAppLoader we would like the ResourceSet to be
optional/non-failing if the resource is not available. Is there any
configuration/property I can use to do that?
Thanks,
Kind Regards,
