[Webware-discuss] sys.path problem

[Chuck E. <ec...@mi...>]

Here's an update on where I'm at:

Summary of problem is this: ServletFactory's pointer to Servlet is 
different than a given servlet's ancestor Servlet class. e.g., there are 
two Servlet classes in memory. One reports his name as "Servlet.Servlet" 
and the other as "WebKit.Servlet.Servlet". Each reports a different address.

* I tried recreating the problem with a small example that involves a 
similar set up. It defied me and worked without a problem.

* I noticed there were still '.' and '..' entries in sys.path. I eliminated 
both by fixing up OneShot.cgi & WebKit.cgi. That didn't fix the problem.

* I noticed that ServletFactory exec's the code instead of importing it. So 
I switched over to the import technique. That didn't fix the problem.

* I have a mild suspicion that having the current directory be 
/Webware/WebKit/ could be the complicating factor.

* As a reminder, the reason this stuff is important is that under the 
current scheme of adding WebKit and every plug-in and context to sys.path, 
we are headed for name collision at some point.
