Hello,
I am using WAS 4.0.4, and using
Ant 1.5.3 for builds. I've got a couple of problems. First, I have a set of classes I use as a framework for both the web and
ejb tiers that I package as, say fwk.jar. For the web tier, I just put the jar in my war's WEB-INF/lib. For the ejb tier, I want to put the jar in the manifest classpath (e.g. Class-Path: lib/fwk.jar). I have tried this, but no matter what, when the EJBs load, I get a ClassNotFoundException on the base EJB classes/interfaces.
I've seen a lot of posts about setting classpaths for various class loaders, and setting the JVM classpath works, but then leads to another problem, which is I also using the commons-logging/log4j classes, and wind up with a class loader issue ("Class org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JCategoryLog does not implement Log"), since the web tier is loading one class with the JVM class loader and another with the web module loader. So what I would like to do is remove all my jars from WEB-INF/lib and place them in a shared lib directory in my EAR and use the manifest classpaths to reference what I need appropriately, but since the EJB tier isn't working, I need to figure out why.
My other issue is that when I enter a long classpath in the manifest, either jar or ant is splitting the line up into two lines (e.g.,
"Class-Path: foo.jar bar.jar foo-bar.jar" becomes
"Class-Path: foo.jar bar.jar foo-\n bar.jar"). Perhaps the second issue is causing a problem with the first, but if I simply take out the "foo-bar.jar" entry, the line stays intact, but the EJB tier still doesn't load the other two jars.
Help!
