http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34993 Summary: Missing Class-Path entries are ignored, spec violation Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.9 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think this behavior violates the Servlet spec (see below). If I'm reading it right, Class-Path entries in the MANIFEST.MF files for *both* WAR files and JAR files in the WEB-INF/lib must cause the container to reject the application. >From http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/changelog.html Under 5.0.6: "Tomcat will now ignore a non existent classpath JAR (remm)" >From servlet-2_4-fr-spec.pdf, 9.7.1: "The application developer depending on such an extension or extensions must provide a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF entry in the WAR file listing all extensions needed by theWAR. The format of the manifest entry should follow standard JAR manifest format. During deployment of the Web application, the Web container must make the correct versions of the extensions available to the application following the rules defined by the Optional Package Versioning mechanism (http:/ /java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/extensions/)." "Web containers must also be able to recognize declared dependencies expressed in the manifest entry of any of the library JARs under the WEB-INF/lib entry in a WAR." "If a Web container is not able to satisfy the dependencies declared in this manner, it should reject the application with an informative error message." ----- I found the bug when Tomcat logged a ClassNotFoundException for a class that is found in a jar listed in the Class-Path entry for my WAR's manifest. This jar should have been placed in the TC_HOME\shared\lib directory, but was overlooked and not copied there. It would be helpful if Tomcat rejected the WAR with an informative error message so that the administrator quickly realized that the environment was not configured properly. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
