http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4948 Class.getPackage() returns null in classes loaded by webapp class loader ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2001-11-20 08:09 ------- Thanks for the clarification of what the class reloading problem was. You're right about the way I was testing it ( touching web.xml ) and I agree that that's not good enough. So, I spent some more time now digging in to DependClassLoader.java, trying to understand how it could possibly fail to define packages. It turns out that the problem was much simpler than I had imagined it to be. The root of the problem is that DependClassLoader12 is never calling definePackage. Apparently, this must be a not-very-often used feature because everything still runs just fine regardless ( until you encounter some code that wants to call Class.getPackage() and it gets null ). I've modified my copy of DependClassLoader12.java to call definePackage appropriately and will attach a patch containing those changes.
