Re: [Axualize-users] class loading via jar files

[Russell W. <rus...@ya...>]

Hi Frank,

The short answer to your question is that while the syntax you are using makes
sense (And I may chagng the <load-classes> TagHandler to accomodate it) it is
not technically correct (for now).

The bad news:
Each <load-classes> tag can only refer to one library.

The good news:
You can have as many <load-classes> tags as you like to load as many libraries
as you like. :)

Look for mutiple URL per tag support in the next release in the next day or so.

I hope that helps. Thanks for exposing something I had not thought of myself!
That always helps. :)
