[Webmacro-devel] Weird thing to watch out for

[Marc P. <ma...@an...>]

Hi,

Just rolling along with Brian's new WM mods. I noticed something odd.

I replaced my webapps webmacro.jar with the new one, and told Tomcat (4.1) 
to reload my app. This normally works fine.

However, I do not normally replace WM.

What I got was an error from WM saying it couldn't find WebMacro.defaults 
in the jar, even though it is there!

WebMacro Error:

Could not initialize the broker!
*** Check that WebMacro.properties was in your servlet
*** classpath, in a similar place to webmacro.jar *** and that all values 
were set correctly.
IO Error reading WebMacro.defaults
java.io.FileNotFoundException: JAR entry WebMacro.defaults not found in 
E:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\ignition\WEB- 
INF\lib\webmacro.jar
Please contact the server administrator

Now... that sounds like a Tomcat classloader bug to me, or I am doing 
something obscure without realising it that is stopping reload occurring 
properly (can that really be true?!)
