Well, there was a frank response from Joe Kesselman. It clarified some issues, but perhaps you can add something? Quote from Joe's message is appended.
Regards, Sergey <quote author="Joe Kesselman" timestamp="2002-06-04 14:41:49"> It isn't obvious. I still don't really understand context class loaders myself. If I can find a good summary/tutorial, I'll post it or a pointer to it. I _think_ it's related to per-thread security settings, but don't take my word for it. The important points for us seem to boil down to (a) if a context class loader can be retrieved, we should always search it first,, and (b) finding out whether it's available involves calls that weren't available in Java 1.1.8, so our attempts to retain back-level compatability force us to do this test via reflection. </quote> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary L Peskin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Ushakov, Sergey N'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 8:03 AM Subject: RE: New Xalan not playing well with Tomcat 4.0? > Sergey -- > > I've been out of town.
