RE: [Jython-users] Using Jython with Java Web Start

[Phil S. <psu...@es...>]

I submitted a patch to support this to jython-dev a while back.

[I said]
After poking through the jython code, I found that this patch to
org/jython/core/imp.java in jython-2.1a3 does the trick:
imp.java
498a499,502
> //if it's not a builtin or in the python path, try the classpath
> ret = loadFromClassLoader(name, imp.class.getClassLoader());
> if (ret != null) return ret;
>
to put this into context:
private static PyObject load(String name, PyList path) {
PyObject ret = loadBuiltin(name, path);
if (ret != null) return ret;
ret = loadFromPath(name, path);
if (ret != null) return ret;
> //if it's not a builtin or in the python path, try the classpath
> ret = loadFromClassLoader(name, imp.class.getClassLoader());
> if (ret != null) return ret;
>

Subject: [Jython-users] Using Jython with Java Web Start


I'd like to jar up my py files (or *$py.class files) into one jar and jump
into my application with Java Web Start.  With Java Web start, you can only
specify jar files, not py files.  I cannot use the python.path since Web
Start renames the jar files and puts them in an unknown location.  Is there
a way to make jython get the py files using Class.getResource() instead of
looking locally for a file?  That could be usefull for standard applications
as well.
