Hi,
Here's what happend. It looks pretty strange. I couldn't find explanation to
this neither in Tomcat docs, Servlet specs or Mailing List.
I have a servlet, with doGet implemented as:
System.err.println("XALAN VERSION = " +
org.apache.xalan.Version.getVersion());
In the application's WEB_INF/lib directory I have xalan.jar of version
2.4.1, which I thought should have been used. But instead, as the result of
execution of the servlet, I got
XALAN VERSION = Xalan Java 2.2 D11
This is the Xalan version included to JDK 1.4.
Isn't application's JAR should be used (as stated in SRV.9.7.2 of the
Servlet 2.3 specification)?
Then, I changed "setclasspath.bat" JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS env. variable to
include my WEB_INF/lib directory (application wasn't packed into WAR). This
variable is then passed as the value of "java.endorsed.dirs" java startup
parameter. As the result, I got
XALAN VERSION = Xalan Java 2.4.1
which I expected in the first place.
Does this mean that libraries in the endorsed dir have bigger priority? It's
a little confusing why this change whould make such a difference. Is there a
way to specify forcefully that application should only use local libraries
if they're specified?
Thanks,
Dimitry E Voytenko
