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

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

Frank,

I need to rewrite some of the docs to be more clear.

Here is something else I forgot to mention about load classes and most of the
other URL based tags in Axualize.

By default "href" attributes in most tags are relative.

So if I have an Axualize document at:

/home/russ/axualize/xml/hello.xml

and libraries here:
/home/russ/axualize/lib/*


and I execute it as follows

java -jar %AXUALIZE_HOME%/dist/axualize.jar
file:/home/russ/axualize/xml/hello.xml

Then I can load libraries like this:
<load-classes href="../lib/myLibA.jar"/>
<load-classes href="../lib/myLibA.jar"/>

I think this is why I wrote the tag handler like I did.

The only reason I included the URL argument support at all was to better
support cases where the URL was generated at document creation time time using
something like JSP.
