WLS 6.1sp3 classloader loads all archives within WEB-INF/lib/*

          Within the lib directory of my webapp, I have several different versions of myarchive.jar.
          In WLS 6.0 I would keep older version within the lib directory but renaming them
          so that the current release would get loaded.
          $WL_HOME/config/mydomain/applications/myapp/WEB-INF/lib
          myarvhive.jar
          myarvhive.jar_bf_2.3release
          myarvhive.jar_bf_2.4release
          myarvhive.jar_bf_2.5release
          In WLS 6.0 this method of storing the previous archive version was safe. However,
          now after implementing WLS 6.1, I only can have the current archive release within
          the lib directory. If the previous versions are store within the lib, old methods
          are used.
          I do not understand the WLS classloader behavior and why is it different from
          WLS 6.0?

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

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.

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
Rajasekaran

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:

How do I load an image in WEB-INF?

How do I load an image from WEB-INF with JSP's? I'm using Glassfish and
NB.
Filter code:
String path = filterConfig.getServletContext().getContextPath();
contextPath = "http://localhost:8080" + context + path;
String duke = contextPath + "/duke.gif";
which results in the following html:
<img src="http://localhost:8080/WebApplication/duke.gif">
Which is fine, but any user gets to access that image. I want to move
the image to WEB-INF so that it's not accessible for users.
see also:
NetBeans Forums - how to load an image from WEB-INF?

No i dont think so..... I need to download the jar file through the JNLP which contains those image files.
Only then the JNLPClassLoader returns the Image file otherwise it returns null.
(actually i assumed, it loads all those files into it and keeps it as the Resources. I don know whether it is right or not..)
eg., I download my img.jar in C:\Downloads using JNLPClassLoader which contains New.gif.
getClass().getResource("New.gif") exactly returns the URL C:\Downloads\img.jar!\New.gif.
But my ClassLoader returns null for this getClass().getResource("New.gif").
I also tried calling getClass().getResource("C:\Downloads\img.jar!\New.gif") It simply returns null.
Im sure that I have the Image file in that path.

WLS 8.1 SP4 and web-inf/lib ClassNotFoundExceptions

Hi
Is anyone else having problems with this issue ?
I saw it was resolved (CR161884 & CR173695) in the 8.1 SP3 release, but I'm unable to deploy a web app (either through the console or in the applications directory of the domain) in SP4 as the classloader can't see my JAR file in WEB-INF/lib.

Just as a check, I moved the JAR files to a common lib directory on the server and added them to the system classpath specified in startWeblogic.cmd, and the application starts fine.
Maybe not related, but yesterday I was tried deploying an EJB that was dependent on a JAR file NOT included within its JAR file, but specified with the Class-path entry in the manifest.
The behaviour I saw was WLS swallowed the ClassNotFoundException silently, the admin console reported that the EJB was deployed successfully but inside the ejbCreate method - I had two print line statements, one prior to calling the missing class, and one after. Only the one prior appeared on the system console, suggesting that the ejbCreate method wasn't completing, yet no exception is thrown ?

Classloading Order in /WEB-INF/lib

hi all,
we are using wl 8.1sp2 and we have a problem with the classloading in a webapp. The requested class is loaded on startup.
My question is: In which ordering are the classes - or better jar-files - loaded, which are located in the /WEB-INF/lib directory... is it alpha-numerical? random?
Is there a way to control the ordering?
I browsed the tutorials but could not find an answer to that question.
- odilo

I am running into exactly the same issue. I haven't found any solution yet.
Our primary reason for having the same classes in multiple jars is for patch release purposes. We would like to drop a patch jar into a directory (ideally somewhere other than WEB-INF/lib) and prepend it to the classpath via some mechanism... for example the Class-Path attr of MANIFEST.MF
One alternative is to replace the entire existing core jar file with a patched version. This is quite inconvenient with our current QA process, since the complete functionality would have to be re-tested rather than just a point test of the patched area.
I could also envision a need for this in a situation where you have third-party libraries. It's not always easy to control their packaging. Sometimes they come bundled with old utility classes which you would like to shadow with newer versions.

Jar files not in WEB-INF/lib (custom ClassLoader?)

I need to use classes in my JSP that do not come from a JAR file in the standard location. Sounds like I "simply" need to extend the ClassLoader used by the app server for loading the JSP. Is there any way of doing that?
Example: my.jsp
<h1>Hi</h1>
<%
FOO x = new FOO(); // code from a non-standard place
ClassLoader cl = getClass().getClassLoader();
%>
I cannot put FOO.class into WEB-INF/lib or any of the standard places. Ideally I'd like to give the ClassLoader (cl above) a different (custom) parent ClassLoader which would know how to resolve FOO.class.
I've poured over docs and Google and WebSphere and the Tomcat source code. Is this request of mine really so outrageous? I'm about the give up. What good are custom classloaders if one can't use them?

You are essentially making the argument "All that Java
needs is a URLClassLoader, and no one has any need for
any custom ClassLoaders". (After all, that's all that
I seem to have in a JSP context, with a list of
hard-coded URLs into that URLClassLoader ...)
Do a Google search on "custom ClassLoader" and you
will find lots of reasons why people want to have
custom ClassLoaders, such as ones that don't use any
JAR or .class files ... which would qualify as why I
can't put them into a certain place ...To be fair to duffymo, that is not how I read his argument. I read it as:
"Sometimes we try to do things the hard way. If we sit back and rethink the problem, an easier solution might come about."
I think this is a good opportunity to explain why you can not use the normal class loader heirarchy. You have no JARs and no .class files? Then where are you getting the class definitions? If you explain enough so that we might understand the problem:
1) we might be able to come up with a solution or
2) you might see a different approach before you are even done explaining
#2 has happened to me more times then I can count. I sit down formulating a question for the forums, make sure I include enough detail to explain my problem. And by the time I am done I have a new (usually simpler) approach to solving the problem.
Or you could sit and defend your first approach without providing any context and accomplish nothing. So its up to you.

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

How to load .jar files of subfolder in web-inf/lib folder?

Hi All,
In 'webapps\myappliction\WEB-INF\lib\myfolder' and in myfolder have some .jar files. How to load subfolder jar files in weblogic server 10.0?
Do I need to configure subfolder jar path in web.xml? Please help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Gangadhar

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>

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 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.

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.

Access JSF Pages within WEB-INF directory

Hi,
I am generating a project using JHeadstart 10.1.3
with the default setting for the UI Pages directory (/WEB-INF/page).
This means that the generated pages are placed in the page directory
within the WEB-INF directory.
The generated pages use ADF Faces and the problem is that I can't
get access to the pages in the WEB-INF directory
When I try to deploy to OC4J standalone, the pages in the WEB-INF directory
are not accessible.
I read that I have to construct a index.jspx file that forwards to
the first page (Home.jspx)
This is my index.jspx:
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.0">
<jsp:scriptlet> request.getRequestDispatcher("WEB-INF/page/Home.jspx").forward(request,response);
</jsp:scriptlet>
</jsp:root>
This works, but I now have the problem of not getting a valid FacesContext:
500 Internal Server Error
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find FacesContext
at javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentTag.doStartTag(UIComponentTag.java:405)

at oracle.jsp.runtimev2.JspPageTable.service(JspPageTable.java:370)

etc. etc.
What is the required way of setting up the forward (and having a valid FacesContext)?
I know that this is a JHeadstart problem, but maybe you guys know how to solve it.

I do something similar in my index.jspx file - but I needed to add "faces" to the url path. This will have the faces servlet process it and setup the faces context.
Have you tried changing

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

The images are found in root/images/*.gif, but not
when jarred up and placed in the lib folder. I've
looked everywhere

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...

WLS 6.1sp3 classloader loads all archives within WEB-INF/lib/*
