[jira] [Commented] (KARAF-1545) Jar files in lib directory require "karaf-" prefix in order to be loaded

["Jamie goodyear (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-1545?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13294584#comment-13294584 ] 

Jamie goodyear commented on KARAF-1545:
---------------------------------------

The lib folder currently only auto adds "karaf*.jar" to the classpath. The work around to this behaviour is to add the jar directly to CLASSPATH in your environment.

> I was trying to configure JDBC fail-over, so I put my mysql driver jar in the KARAF_HOME/lib directory.  I kept getting ClassNotFoundExceptions.  On the advice of someone on IRC, I changed the name to "karaf-mysql-connector-java.jar" and it started working.  Why the karaf- prefix requirement?  If that's the intended behavior, then please update the README file in the lib directory.  It says:
> "Any jar in this folder will be part of the main classloader used to load Karaf."
