JSP created by JDeveloper 3.0

Question

I am trying to deploy some JSPs that use Business Components (created with the
help of the various wizards). The JSPs work fine in JDeveloper, but when I deploy the pages to JavaWebServer 2.0, I get a 404 error for a URL ending with "/null".
Playing around with the page, I found that the problem is within a method call:
oracle.jbo.html.jsp.JSPApplicationRegistry.registerApplicationFromPropertyFile
Apparently it can't find my .properties file. I've tried several different locations, all with no success.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thanks for the help, but it still doesn't work. I verified that the properties file is on the classpath.
Disclaimer: I am not a Java "expert", but, through experimentation and help from another post (see below), I figured out the following:
There seem to be two interrelated problems with the deployment:
The first is within the JSPApplicationRegistry class itself. The code:
InputStream in = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream(sConfigPath);
appears to be one of the problems. Replacing it with the code:
JSPApplicationRegistry.class.getResourceAsStream(sConfigPath);
appears to fix the first problem. At least with the new code I now get "Application Error" pages rather than references to null pages.
The second problem appears to be in the specification of the path of the properties file. The properties file is located, in this case, in JSPDBTest1.jar. Within the jar, it is contained in the folder JSPDBTest1. Changing the filename specification in "main.jsp" from
"JSPDBTest1_AppModule" to
"/JSPDBTest1/JSPDBTest1_AppModule" fixes the problem for main.jsp (at least it seems to work correctly).
However, when I try to link to any other jsp (for example, empview.jsp, which has been modified in the same manner as main.jsp) I get:
Error Message: JSP Registry could not locate runtime property
file:JSPDBTest1_AppModule.properties
Please note that the "/JSPDBTest1/" portion of the path is missing from the above...and it appears that the check for "already registered" failed(?)
I will admit that I'm probably WAY too deep, and modifying vendor-supplied routines isn't what I normally do in this case. There is a topic posted by [email protected] "Can't use databeans in other envierments" (sic) regarding what appears to be the same problem, along with a solution similar to what I tried. This post was dated 11/30/99, and had no replies to it.
In any event, I feel that I shouldn't have to modify the generated jsp in order to deploy it. Yes, the generated jsp does work under JDeveloper...but I need to deploy into the real world, and I can't get it to work.
