[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-2676) ClassLoader getResources() omits directory but finds files in the directory - this affects Facelets *.taglib.xml auto-loading

ClassLoader getResources() omits directory but finds files in the directory - this affects Facelets *.taglib.xml auto-loading ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-2676 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-2676 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Web (Tomcat) service Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.3 SP1 Environment: Windows XP, JDK 1.5.0_04 Reporter: David Richmond Assigned To: Remy Maucherat Using JSF and Facelets. Have a JAR file in my WebApps WEB-INF/lib, JAR file contains META-INF/faces-config.xml and META-INF/isalib.taglib.xml Using the Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() classloader: .getResources("META-INF/faces-config.xml") finds the file in the JAR .getResources("META-INF/") does not find the directory in the JAR This is quite important, since Facelets scans the classpath for "META-INF/" dircetories and searches for *.taglib.xml files therein - this allows Facelets to auto-load the files it finds. One work around is to copy the taglib.xml file into my web-app and point the facelets.LIBRARIES context parameter at the file. Another workaround is to put the taglib.xml file into the Web-App's META-INF directory (since WAR files are on the classpath - is this an error?). However, the taglib.xml definitions belong to the JAR and can change when the JAR source code changes - so loading from the JAR is prefered.
