ClassLoader problem in embedded tomcat

[Sabine Wagner <wa...@gmx.de>]

Hello,

I use embedded tomcat 5.5.20 in an osgi/ equinox bundle. When the bundle is
started, tomcat is also started, but tomcat uses the wrong ClassLoader. In
fact, tomcat uses an osgi's DefaultClassLoader. The console's output is the
following:

osgi> install file:tomcatbundle_1.0.0.jar
Bundle id is 262

osgi> start 262
Tomcat starting...

This DefaultClassLoader makes problems with loading webapplications
properly, especially with loading libraries included in webapplications.
How can I set the right ClassLoader?
I think org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader or WebappClassLoader is the
right one, or does tomcat usually use another one?
Is the ClassLoader set for the context, the host or the engine?


My embedded tomcats' init()-method before tomcat is started:


//	 Instance variables:
	private String    name = "local";
	private int       portNumber = 8080;
	private Embedded  embedded;
	private Engine    baseEngine;
	private Host      baseHost;
	private Connector httpConnector;

	...

private void init(){

	  MemoryRealm realm;
	  Context     managerContext;
	  String      baseEngineName;
	  String      hostName;

	  embedded = new Embedded();
	  realm = new MemoryRealm();
	  embedded.setRealm(realm);

	  // create an Engine
	  baseEngine = embedded.createEngine();

	  // set Engine properties
	  baseEngineName = name + "Engine";
	  hostName = name + "host";

	  baseEngine.setName(baseEngineName);
	  baseEngine.setDefaultHost(hostName);

	  baseHost = embedded.createHost(hostName, "webapps");
	  baseEngine.addChild(baseHost);

	  // RootContext
	  addContext("", "ROOT");

	  // ManagerContext
	  managerContext = addContext("/manager", "manager");
	  managerContext.setPrivileged(true);

	  // add new Engine to set of Engine for embedded server
	  embedded.addEngine(baseEngine);

	  // create Connector
	  httpConnector = embedded.createConnector((java.net.InetAddress) null,
portNumber, false);

	  // add new Connector to set of Connectors for embedded server, associated
	  // with Engine
	  embedded.addConnector(httpConnector);
	}
