So do I as that is exacly what my proposed "hack" does. There is no need to provide JasperLoader.getResource(String) as the inherited from java.lang.ClassLoader getResource(String) is cool, it already delegates to parent first if there is one. Here it is, as implemented in java.lang.ClassLoader: public URL getResource(String name) { URL url; if (parent != null) { url = parent.getResource(name); } else { url = getBootstrapResource(name); } if (url == null) { url = findResource(name); } return url; } So it is enough to provide only JasperLoader.getResourceAsStream(String) which in turn invokes getResource(String) to obtain URL to requested resource. As there is no implementation of such method provided in JasperLoader, the implementation of ClassLoader is used (which delegates to parent). I hope I made myself clear (I realize that a patch is worth thousand words ;) It's not that hacky after all, is it? cheers, /dd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
