ANY REPLY MADE TO THIS MESSAGE WILL NOT BE COLLECTED AND INSERTED IN THE BUG DATABASE. http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7794 Common.ClassLoader and Apps.ClassLoader not loading .zip files Summary: Common.ClassLoader and Apps.ClassLoader not loading .zip files Product: Tomcat 3 Version: 3.3 Final Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Unknown AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: Juha.Laiho@iki.fi It seems to me that if class files are packaged with .zip suffix instead of .jar, they do not get picked up by the Common.ClassLoader or Apps.ClassLoader. Also the documentation for the new class structure seems to indicate this. This behaviour is inconsistent with how regular Java works -- also .zip files are picked up from directories listed in $CLASSPATH (so, .zip files used to be included before Tomcat 3.3). This problem is manifest f.ex. when Oracle 8i JDBC classes are needed - the file name for these is classes12.zip. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
