WAR: making executable with reference to lib in WEB-INF/lib?

I have a custom library (jar file) with a manifest to show version infos when started/double cliked. this works quite good. this jar file is now part of a bigger war file. now, i want to double click the war file to show the version info. i already added a manifest to the war file and double clicking works as expected but the (main) class is not found. i tried to add WEB-INF/lib/mylib.jar to the manifest Class-Path: entry, but that doesn't work. is there a way to tell the manifest, that it should look in the war's web-inf/lib subdirectory to look for classes? or is this an approach that couldn't be solved?

My first reaction here is to say you shouldn't do that. It seems to me that you're just asking for trouble when you start modifying the manifest class path of your WAR to try and make it an executable war - if you do succeed you might end up not being able to have the thing function as a WAR.
but that aside, I don't think (I've not tested/invistigated this very much) that you can access classes contained withing jars that are themselves contained within a jar without doing some sort of custom classloader craziness - and if you have to go down that route then you definitely don't want t o muck up your WAR like that.
I suggest that you create a Servlet (or Struts action, or whatever you have going on) such that when you hit that via a JSP (possibly protected via some sort of security) you get the results of your versioning method dumped out on your browser. That would be more "natural" and go with the Zen of the technology you're using.
Good Luck

Oc4j 10.1.3.0.0Prev4 does not load libs in WEB-INF/lib

Hi,
trying to use an existing application with oc4j I have serious problems.
When trying to deploy I get exceptions (ClassNotFound) of classes that are in libs that are in the WEB-INF/lib folder of the war file I want to deploy:
05/09/23 17:20:21 CharScanner; panic: ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.hql.ast.HqlToken
This class is in hibernate3.jar which is included in the war-file.
When I place all the libs into the applib folder it does deploy. But then it crashes at runtime telling me the classes are duplicate (one in the war, one in applib).
Any suggestions what I can do would be greatly appreciated.
Norbert

Hello,
Instead of simply dropping the Jar file in the applib directory you should create shared libraries that will give you better control of what is happening at the classloader level (System, Application and Web Application)
Please take a look to the 10.1.3 How tos about shared library. (Swapping XML parser and JDBC driver), and also to the documentation, chapter 7 "Using Shared Libraries" of the OC4J Configuration and Administration Guide

<classpathentry kind="output" path="WEB-INF/classes"/>

web project wizard) it was easy to find out what my broken project was

Hopefully this will help someone else one day :)

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

Project librarys not included in WAR file with deployment (WEB-INF/lib)

Using JDeveloper 9.0.5.2
Project Libraries are not included in WEB-INF/lib when deploying. Although the files are selected in the deployment file at 'Contributors'. Within the 'filter' the .jar files are missing.
To solve it i have to register again (i have already made the librarys project library's) the files within Tools->ManageLibrarys as user library's.
The other workaround is to make the library's System Library's within the project.
In my opinion it is a bug that you must include the project librarys as user librarys within the 'LibraryManager'

Unfortunately no, the issue with output folder being ignored occurs only with example apps bundled with Workshop product.
You can try the following workaround:
- In Workshop, Project > Properties - Java Build Path, switch to Source tab - "Remove the source folder listing" - Click OK and dismiss Properties window.
- Project > Properties - Java Build Path > Source Tab, add the same source folder entry - Click OK
- Export as WAR
With this you should see the class files bundled under output directory structure (Ex: WEB-INF/classes).

Working with tag-library which is packed in WEB-INF\lib\jar-file.jar:

Hi,
When importing a webworks war file, which contains default taglib.tld in the webworks.jar which is packed in /Web-Inf/lib/webworks.2.1.7.jar the war file.
I am getting following error while running the jsp.
Error(6): duplicated tag definitions within the same TLD: text
Error(6): java.lang.NullPointerException
Error(6): Unable to load taghandler class: /webwork
Line which points to Errors is "<%@ taglib prefix="ww" uri="/webwork" %>"
But, There is a taglib.tld in /Web-Inf/lib/webworks.2.1.7.jar!\meta-inf\tablib.tld
which mentions uri as
<taglib>
<tlib-version>2.2.1</tlib-version>
<jsp-version>1.2</jsp-version>
<short-name>WebWork Taglib</short-name>
<uri>/webwork</uri>
</taglib>
But, There is no following entry for '/webwork' (uri) in web.xml
Same war is working fine in tomcat webserver.
Can anybody explain me how to work with this kind of a setup, where taglib is packed in some jar which is packed in Web-Inf/lib dir.
Thanks,
Siva

I found the problem. The web-app was finding the class in the APP-INf/lib. But the problem was being caused due to a reference to another class that was being loaded by the webapp classloader which was not visible to the class inside the common jar. The solution was to make sure both classes were being loaded by one class loader.
Thanks anyway

OAS 10.1.3 isn't detecting /WEB-INF/lib jar files within WAR file

Hello,
I have been developing and testing a simple non-EJB web application on Tomcat 5.5 with no class loading difficulties for the past several months. All of the needed JARs for my app are located under the WEB-INF/lib directory. My next task is to deploy the WAR file containing my webapp on the Oracle 10g (10.1.3) application server.
The problem I am having when trying to do this is that when I deploy the WAR file from Oracle Enterprise Manager, the WAR file will expand correctly but at runtime OAS doesn't appear to be detecting the JAR files in the WEB-INF/lib folder of my WAR file. I have confirmed that the JAR files are indeed being expanded in the directory that OC4J expands the WAR file into:
appserver/j2ee/home/applications/appEARFile/MyWebApp/WEB-INF/lib.
But when I run the application, from the Firefox browser I immediately get the following 500 Internal Server Error:
"Servlet error: Error instantiating servlet 'reports'. Servlet class org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet not found in web-application MyWebApp"
(The IE browser just gives me the 500 error without additional elaboration.)
But my spring.jar where that class is located is in the WEB-INF/lib directory. Does anyone have an idea what the solution is--how can I get OC4J to read the spring.jar (or any jar) in that lib folder? (Or is there a way I can configure logging to better pinpoint the problem if that isn't it?)
Thanks,
Glen

Glen,
You said:
IE browser just gives me the 500 error without
additional elaborationTry unsetting the "Show friendly HTTP error
messages".
From the "Tools" menu of Microsoft Internet Explorer,
choose "Internet Options".
(You should then see another window entitled
"Internet Properties" displayed.)
Select the "Advanced" tab and search for "Show
friendly HTTP error messages".
Excellent--that worked. Thanks! I was afraid that I would have to be debugging on Firefox exclusively.
I also suggest setting the
"search-local-classes-first" attribute, of the
"web-app-class-loader" element, in your
"orion-web.xml" file to 'true' (if it isn't
already).
That did it. My orion-web.xml file was of the old DTD-based version, I believe that was causing the problem.
The following document:
Oracle® Containers for J2EE
Developers Guide
10g Release 3 (10.1.3)
Part No. B14433-01
has a chapter (3) entitled Utilizing the OC4J
Class Loading Framework which contains a section
entitled Troubleshooting Class Loading-Related
Problems in OC4J.
Thanks for the link, I went through it thoroughly in trying to fix my problem.

WEB-INF/lib (.war) Vs META-INF/MANIFEST.MF (.ear)

What are the Class loading differences between libraries that are in a web application web-inf/lib and that are in class-path entry of META-INF/manifest.mf of a ear.
I recently developed a web services application with a ejb endpoint.Then
packaged it in a ear file with the classpath entry .The problem occured when I placed the weblogic.jar(and other third party jars) in the ear file which my ejb.jar uses as utility jar's. Jboss starts behaving weird.Some of the classes of jboss are overwritten and class cast exception errors started coming up.
Overnight I changed the application to a servlet end point and placed all my jars in the WEB-INF/lib then everything started working smooth.
Can any body help me , understand what is happening. Why doesn't j2ee have something like META-INF/lib

What did you do to resolve this issue .. I'm having the exact same problem.
What a nightmare.
I found approximately 40 forums on this topic (and
there are probably more), but noone has the definitive
answer!
Here's the problem....
My servlet uses a utility class that resides in some
other jar. That jar is then placed into the
WEB-INF\lib directory of the WAR which in turn goes
into the EAR. This is supposed to be all that is
needed in order for the utility class to be found on
the classpath.
In fact, if you run the war in Tomcat as a standalone
WAR it does in fact find it.... its when in an EAR
deloployed to app server that the problem arises.
I have had no luck with using any combination of
putting the jar ANYWHERE in the EAR or WAR no matter
if I specify the Class-Path: in the manifest(s) or
not.
I thought maybe that I was missing some config in the
application.xml or web.xml but I couldn't find
anything to support that.
Maybe its dependent on the app server? I am using
Orion, but the same problem can be found on J2EE RI
release 1.3
Work arounds:
1. Simply put the utility jar in the lib directory of
the server you're using
2. Add an ejb module to the application.xml naming the
utility jar as the ejb jar. Of course this is NOT an
EJB jar and error messages/warnings will appear
accordingly, but on Orion at least, it will load the
classes needed... hooray!!
Anyone got a definitive answer?

Deploy problem with ejb jar in WEB-INF/lib

Please help with : StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
On WL 6.1 sp2, I have one EJB jar that deploys fine in an expanded EAR structure,
this has EJB jars and the web apps together running under a single JVM.
But when I need to deploy the Web App to a separate server & JVM, still using
WL 6.1, and leave the EJBs in another WL server I get java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.
I have about 8 ejb jars. When I put one of them in the Web-App's WEB-INF/lib directory.
I get java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when it starts up, just after/during
the extracting of classes for the standalone Web App. The exception stack trace
mentions manifest, but the manifest for the ejb jar is just standard. It doesn't
even have a Class-Path: entry, which all the others happen to have. an needs
to contain the server EJB jars.

Please help with : StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
On WL 6.1 sp2, I have one EJB jar that deploys fine in an expanded EARstructure,
this has EJB jars and the web apps together running under a single JVM.
But when I need to deploy the Web App to a separate server & JVM, stillusing
WL 6.1, and leave the EJBs in another WL server I getjava.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.
>
I have about 8 ejb jars. When I put one of them in the Web-App'sWEB-INF/lib directory.
I get java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when it starts up, justafter/during
the extracting of classes for the standalone Web App. The exception stacktrace
mentions manifest, but the manifest for the ejb jar is just standard. Itdoesn't
even have a Class-Path: entry, which all the others happen to have. anneeds
to contain the server EJB jars.

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.

Please help.! Problem with locating classes within Jars under WEB-INF/lib.

Hi All,
I have a problem which you guys would have faced already...Here it goes..
I'm using OC4J 10.1.3.0 and use ADF for my web page. I have a controller class which refers to JSF/ADF APIs and this class is archived as a jar file and put under WEB-INF/lib, Also, all the classes related to JSF/ADF are available under the same WEB-INF/lib folder.
When I invoke my page, the controller class is getting called but it throws NoClassDefFound Error for the ADF based class. i mean, these ADF/JSF classes are not getting found when my jar class is placed within WEB-INF/lib. However, when i extract my jar into WEB-INF/classes, it works.
I'm sure, i miss some entry for classpath somewhere. Can any one please point me to right direction...?
Thanks

Hello,
I do not have a direct answer to your question, but could you try the ClassLoader query tools to see if your classes/jar are loaded by the applications:

JAR Files not found from /WEB-INF/lib

It appears that weblogic server (6.1 SP2 I believe) is not finding all
the jar files in the /WEB-INF/lib directory. Some, but not all. I am
not using a WAR file, the dirctories are right on the disk. I start
out with the following jar files in my WEB-INF/lib directory:

Bug using WEB-INF/lib Jar archives

Hi, I am running iPlanet 6.0Sp3 on Windows 2000. I deployed our Web
application in the form of a War file and it is now under the APPS/modules
directory as the following directory: APPS/modules/ourapp.
When I start the iPlanet Application Server, it fails to find any of the
classes in the Jar files in APPS/modules/ourapp/WEB-INF/lib/. Is this a bug?
One workaround is to unjar all of these files, but this is counter to the
J2EE spec. Another workaround is to modify the classpath in the iPlanet
registry, but this would expose the classes to other Web applications
running in the same server.
Thanks for any help. Martin

Hi Martin,
I think you are packinh up the jar file inside the war module, as far as i know
there should be no jar file inside the module/App-name dir tree.
all the modules either war or jar should be in <GX_ROOT_DIR>/JAR dir.
So try making the war module with class files only(static content can also be
added) with appropriate deployment descriptor.
I will mail you separately the procedure for creating a war file from deployment
tool gui.
Please mail me back if you have any other problems.
Sanjeev.

Wl6.1sp2 can't find classes in WEB-INF/lib

          Hi,
          I meet a very strange problem.
          I use struts in my application.so I put struts.jar in web-inf/lib.
          In the .war file, the struts.jar can be found under web-inf/lib.
          my servlet configuration in web.xml is:
          <servlet>
          <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
          <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
          <init-param>
          <param-name>application</param-name>
          <param-value>StrutsProperties</param-value>
          </init-param>
          <init-param>
          <param-name>config</param-name>
          <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
          </init-param>
          <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
          </servlet>
          when this .war file is deploy, the console not show any error message.
          then,when i visit a jsp page that has a <html:form> tag, the console will show
          the error below:
          <Error> <HTTP> <[WebAppServletContext(5418530,struts,/

          note "org/apache/struts/action/ActionForm" can be found when i open struts.jar
          in web-inf/lib
          why weblogic can't find this class but can find the "org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet",
          these 2 classes should all be located in struts.jar
          i used it in win2k,so i think it may not be connect with case sensitive.
          Any one can give me some help or a link I did not found in this group.
          Thanks
