Jars extracted from WEB-INF/lib in JDev 9.0.3

I have a project for a Web application with Struts and I've built a deployment profile for it. When I deploy to WAR or EAR the generated WAR contains the jars from <HTML Source>/WEB-INF/lib folder as extracted classes in the WEB-INF/classes folder and jars in WEB-INF/lib as well. I want to do something so that the jars will be included just as jars and not extracted.
Thanks for help.

I put the jars in the deployment profile in the "WAR File" option from deployment profile descriptor.
When the jars were defined in a separate library entry for my project I put them through "WEB-INF/lib" link under "WAR File" option. Both ways it did the same.
I gave up this and I am using ant but I would like to know if it is possible to do it with deployment descriptor.

  • Tomcat6 does not load class files from WEB-INF/lib/myjarfile.jar  WHY???

    I have placed my jar file in c:\tomcat6\webapps\my-application\WEB-INF\lib\myjarfile.jar
    But, after restarting tomcat6, when i try to import the class file contained in the myjarfile.jar in a servlet, it says
    ProcessFileUpload.java:4: package test.test1 does not exist
    import test.test1.*;
    ^It clearly tomcat's class loading problem.
    As i unzipped my jar and placed the packagefolder structure to
    c:\tomcat6\webapps\my-application\WEB-INF\classes\testand it works perfectly.
    Anyone knows its workaround? please suggest if any configuration changes is required in tomcat or so.
    Thanks.

    Thank you gimbal2 . There was error in creating the jar file myjarfile.jar.
    But, now I have created it again and placed it in place
    c:\tomcat6\webapps\my-application\WEB-INF\lib\myjarfile.jarand tried to use one on the Class file included within the jar to compile my servlet. But, still I am getting error at servlet compilation time. I want to place executable jar files in
    c:\tomcat6\webapps\my-application\WEB-INF\lib\myjarfile.jar and compile my servlet and execute the servlet.
    I DO NOT WANT TO unzip the jar, placing all unzipped files to
    c:\tomcat6\webapps\my-application\WEB-INF\classes\ folder and comiple my servlet and execute the servlet. But, I am failing to user WEB-INF\lib\ folder facility....please help me why i am not getting class files from WEB-INF\lib\ folder.
    If you please see the small code bit and tell me any possible error that would be very helpful.

    Hi Steven,
    Sorry for the late response, next time you can do this in a more simple way
    by launching Properties window (right click on project) and select Java
    Build Path, click on Libraries tab.
    Thanks

  • Is there a restriction on loading "javax" classes from WEB-INF/lib?

    I'm having trouble with a webapp in WL 10MP1 that is having trouble loading classes from the "jsr311-api-1.0.jar" in my WEB-INF/lib. Even though I have no trouble with it in Eclipse (no compile errors), classes from that jar fail with "NoClassDefFound" exceptions. I have a feeling it might be the fact that the packages in that jar start with "javax". Assuming that's the case, is there anything I can do to fix this?
    What's even stranger is that the errors I get are when I try to load them directly from the Spring context. However, if I remove the test references to those classes, there's other code that loads those classes later in the application startup (after the Spring context finishes loading), and they load perfectly fine (I turned on verbose class loading to verify this).

    Note that I've tried two other strategies that both result in the same failed state.
    I tried putting the "jsr311-api-1.0.jar" in $JDK_HOME/jre/lib/ext, but that causes a failure to find Spring classes. I then copied the "spring.jar" into $DOMAIN_HOME/lib, and then it fails to find CXF classes. After doing the same with "cxf-2.2.3.jar", it then fails to find "javax.servlet.ServletContextListener", which clearly tells me there's no benefit to this approach.
    Similarly, I tried copying the jars into $DOMAIN_HOME/lib, and that fails to find "org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory". I could continue down this path, but it doesn't seem likely to succeed. Eventually, I'll get to a point where it just can't find the classes specific to my application, which I certainly can't copy into $DOMAIN_HOME/lib.
    The first basic problem is that I can't put anything into a higher-level classloader that will eventually reference classes in a lower-level classloader, because references can only go up the chain, and the second problem is that WebLogic appears to ignore classes in WEB-INF/lib in the "javax.*" packages. I think there might be an exception for "javax.xml.*", but not for other subpackages. I tried adding a "prefer-application-packages" clause to my weblogic-application.xml file, but that had no effect.

  • Can we downlod jar from WEB-INF/lib using webstart?

    Hi,
    Can we down jars which are in WEB-INF/lib directory
    using jnlp (webstart)?

    I got the basic concept of webstart.
    I can download jar only if publicly accessible (It
    should form a valid URL).Note an important distincion here..
    1) It is possible to form valid URL's that
    point to WEB-INF/lib.
    2) The server should not allow access, to
    that URL (any URL pointing inside WEB-INF/lib)
    and should return instead the HTTP code that says
    'not allowed/barred/forbidden'
    There is a big difference between a[b] valid URL,
    and a valid URL pointing to a forbidden resource.
    But yes, you seem to understand correctly,
    that the jar's for web-start cannot be loaded
    back to the client, from this directory.
    Thanks for your help.You're welcome.

    I wrote up a simple test case for this and it works fine for me.
    I suppose there are diffences. ;)
    I am using:
    WebLogic Server 7.0 SP1 Mon Sep 9 22:46:58 PDT 2002 206753
    Take the attached zip, unzip.
    cd to directory
    ant build
    then deploy it via the console, or
    java weblogic.Deployer -adminurl t3://127.0.0.1:7001 -user weblogic -password
    weblogic -activate -name mywebapp2 -source e:/weblogic/dev/sandbox/griffith/apps/output/exploded_mywebapp_lib/
    Then:
    http://c863775-d:7001/exploded_mywebapp_lib/frobber
    works for me. My servlet implments an interface in the jar in my lib dir.

  • Weblogic Server not picking the jar files in WEB-INF/lib folder

    we are facing a strange problem where Weblogic App Server is not picking the jar files present inside the WEB-INF/lib folder if we update the jar file path in the classpath of the start script then the classes get loaded properly.
    Is there any specific setting which I need to do in weblogic to pick these jars ?

    Class loaders associated with a Web application can be configured to locate local classes first. To enable this we have to set the <prefer-web-inf-classes> to true in the deployment override weblogic.xml, for example
    <container-descriptor>
    <prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>
    </container-descriptor>

  • Images not loaded from WEB-INF/lib/images.jar

    The images are found in root/images/*.gif, but not
    when jarred up and placed in the lib folder. I've looked everywhere
    for a solution but all I've seen is suggestions of other places to put
    the folder, or to add it to the classpath.
    The jar is being loaded but the images are not found. Or at least the images are not showing up - the table where the main image is linked expands to the size of the image when the path is correct.
    Does anyone know the solution to this problem? I don't want to just leave them in the folder at root level, because this does not work if I set a default url pattern for the control servlet.
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Thanks,
    GregIf your planning to make the images accessible by normal html tags - img etc, then they cant be in a jar, and they must be in a location from which the container serves content - i.e not under WEB-INF. Unless you want to write a special servlet which does nothing but read the images and feed them to the client - but I wouldnt recommend that.
    Sounds like your using Struts, and sounds like youre not using weblogic since you wouldnt be able to serve even jsp�s (using forward) from under WEB-INF if you were. Putting jsp�s under WEB-INF sounds like such a good idea when using Struts, but in practice...

  • Jars in web-inf/lib not in classpath

              Hello,
              I am building a web application where I wish to use third party jars.
              (specifically cos.jar and log4j.jar)
              AFAIK when you place these jars in the web-inf/lib directory of your application
              they should then be included in the application classpath.
              However this does not seem to always work. I am using Weblogic 6.1, no service
              pack.
              Eventually I got it to work by adding a manifest to my EJB jar file with the classpath
              pointing to the jars and including the jars in the ear file.
              Has anyone else had any issues with this?
              Thanks,
              James
              

    James,
              Yes, I've had troubles with WLS 6.1.2 finding the classes in my jar files
              that are stored in WEB-INF/lib when deploying as a .war file. The funny
              thing is that when I deploy to a WLS 6.1.0 running on two other machines
              (one solaris, one linux), I don't see this problem.
              My servlets all extend the webmacro WMServlet class, which is found in
              WEB-INF/lib/webmacro.jar. When deploying my web app, grems, I see the
              following behavior.
              On WLS 6.1.0 (running on solaris), the server unjars the WEB-INF/lib files into
              ".wlnotdelete/WEB-INF/_tmp_war_myserver_myserver_grems". That directory
              contains a jar file for each one in my .war files WEB-INF/lib directory.
              On WLS 6.1.2 (running on Solaris), however, the server just doesn't seem to do that.
              Instead, it creates
              ".wlnotdelete/WEB-INF/_tmp_war_myserver_myserver_grems/WEB-INF/lib". Not
              only that, but it doesn't put any of my jar files into that directory.
              Notice that it create the WEB-INF directory twice for some reason.
              Needless to say, any class which uses a class from one of those jar files
              bombs spectacularly with a ClassNotFound exception. This is extremely
              frustrating and any help would be greatly appreciated.
              Thanks,
              Bobby

  • NoClassDefFoundError with jar in WEB-INF/lib

    Hi,
    I have an enterprise application running on Websphere 6. I have one external jar file in WEB-INF\lib (it's commons-lang). I am getting NoClassDefFoundError when trying to use classes in this jar file from the web app -- I thought that it was sufficient to drop the jar in \lib and then it would be picked up but obviously that is not the case.
    As a workaround, I've created a shared lib on the app server for this jar, and added it to the application. This works fine, but I can't understand why is should be required.
    Shouldn't it be sufficient just to put the jar file in WEB-INF\lib under the webapp?

    I think Websphere 6 already includes commons-logging. So the error you are getting may be classloader confusion, which is easy to do with Websphere and hard to understand (so I may be confused here). Try not including it anywhere, not in your web app and not whatever it was you did to make it work. Restart Websphere and your web app and see what happens.

  • JAR files under WEB-INF but not in lib directory

    I am working with JDeveloper 10g and I have several jar files under WEB-INF/lib and other under WEB-INF/libEst.
    I have add this libraries to Project properties > Paths and it works fine when I run my aplication in local environment, but it fails when I deploy and run in the server.
    I have configured our deploy file to include these WEB-INF/libEst jar files, but when I deploy to our server, it seems to be that this classes included in these jar files are not reachable and they cannot be loaded and throw a ClassNotFoundException.
    Is it possible to have jar files under any WEB-INF subdirectory distinct of /lib?
    Why is it working in local but not in server?
    If someone can help me to configure this in order to deploy in server, I will be very grateful.
    Thanks a lot,
    Antonio.

    Hi Antonio,
    I think this document is what you are looking for: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/oc4j/htdocs/how-to-servlet-warmanifest.html
    .. your manifest entries would look like
    Class-Path: WEB-INF/libExt/<jarName1>.jar, WEB-INF/libExt/<jarName2>.jar, ...
    Let me know if this works for you.
    thanks,
    Harsha

  • Log4J - reading properties file from /WEB-INF directory issue..

    I'm just learning to implement Log4J; the approach I am taking for my JSF application running under Tomcat 5.5x is to create an initialization servlet to initialize the logger, and then access the logger instance within my backing beans and application module services. I include log4j.jar file in /WEB-INF/lib and log4j.properties in /WEB-INF.
    First I wanted to see if this was a good approach, and secondly I'm having trouble accessing the log4j.properties file from the /WEB-INF directory (see below) - any suggestions on how to set up the path so that the properties file can be found (I receive a java.io.filenotfoundexception)?
    Where I'm looking for direction is how to define a single instance of the logger and then access that instance from my java classes versus re-creating the logger in each class.
    ----- web.xml --------
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>LogServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.sidehire.view.util.LogServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
    <param-name>setup</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/log4j.properties</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    ------ LogServlet class ------
    public void init()
    throws ServletException {
    String config = getInitParameter("setup");
    PropertyConfigurator.configure(config);
    Thanks

    Try to put the log4j.properties in your WEB-INF/classes/ directory.
    You could wrap one log4j instance in a static method in a utility class, but then you would probably lose other information depending on your logger configuration.
    If you create an instance in each class, which after all is just one line like this:
    static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ChangePasswrdAction.class.getName());
    then you are able to get time and method information.

    setup the mysql jar in ${catalina.home}/common/lib
    directory and it was loaded but I need to make it work
    in WEB-INF/lib location.

         ... 60 moreI don't really understand how I can setup the CLASSPATH in this
    context. So there should be something else. Does anyone have an
    idea?
    Thanks.

    This is what I achived using the <metainf> tags from
    war task in build.xml. Look at the first code
    listing. The
    magic code is:
    <metainf dir="${meta.dir}">
    <include name="context.xml"/>
    </metainf>where ${meta.dir} is defined as ./meta and there
    resides
    the context.xml file (look at the project layout).Very good, thanks.
    Any guesses why Tomcat is not loading mysql jar from
    WEB-INF/lib directory?No. 8(
    My understanding is that JARs in the WEB-INF/lib are visible only to your web app. Those in /common/lib are visible to all apps and the container. Those in /server/lib are visible only to the container and no apps. It SHOULD work from WEB-INF/lib. I've done it that way, but it was an older version of Tomcat.
    Checked the Tomcat docs. They say to put it in /common/lib, but they don't explicitly forbid it in WEB-INF/lib.
    I'll try a simpler example.

  • WEB-INF/lib WEB-INF/classes ClassLoader problem

    I have observed that in WL 8.1, a class in a jar deployed in WEB-INF/lib does not have the ability to access a resource deployed in WEB-INF/classes. Is this the intended behavior to not have WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes in the same ClassLoader? If so, is there a way to configure this behavior to give permission to classes loaded in WEB-INF/lib to the ClassLoader that has WEB-INF/classes?
              thanks,
              Kenneth Shin

    Are you really certain that's what's happening? Is it possible the jar file stored in WEB-INF/lib isn't found elsewhere in the CLASSPATH, perhaps by a higher-level classloader? You might consider setting "prefer-web-inf-classes" to true in your weblogic.xml file, to ensure that the jars in WEB-INF/lib are being used instead of from somewhere else.
