unable to use the VisiBroker ORB from my webapp

[Mike La Budde <mi...@irista.com>]

I'm unable to use the Borland VisiBroker ORB from the classes in my webapp. 
The VisiBroker ORB overrides a JDK1.2 class and I am accustomed to placing 
an orb.properties file (w/ the visigenic package/class name info in it) 
into my /jdk1.2.2/jre/lib directory in order for this to work. All works 
well outside the tomcat environment.

I'm hoping there might be something I can do to tell the 
AdaptiveClassLoader about this file so that it will load the ORB properly.

Thanks for any help.

Mike

PS: If I put all of the jars (including my webapp jars!) in /tomcat/lib 
then it works, because everything is placed into the system classpath and 
it is using the default jdk classloader. However, I would prefer not to 
have to do this....

Here we changed the tomcat.sh script to include all VB's related stuff.
Just cut-and-paste the prop's from the 'vbj' script and everything should
be OK.
