OC4J AND FOP

[Luis María Ruiz del Portal Lázaro <lm...@ceh.junta-andalucia.es>]

Hi all, i have a problem with oc4j ( or ocean ) server and IAS 9x.
i can generate a pdf using tomcat, but i don´t know how to establish the classpath of the oc4j server to generate the pdf.
Oc4j has xerces.jar,xalan.jar and parser.jar and i don´t know what to do to put my jars before them in ocean classpath.

Thanks.

Thank you very much Arved, that was one of my two problems. Now i know how to change the classpath, and the another problem is that like in tomcat I put xerces-1.2.3.jar, xalan-2.0.0.jar  at the beginning of tomcat classpath and deleted the jaxp.jar, parser.jar to run fop, now i do not wich is the order of the classpath in orion...
if someone knows the problem...
Thanks.

  I have not used oc4j much, but I started using Orion in early 2000, and they are still pretty much the same thing. If you open orion.jar with Winzip and then open Manifest.mf, you'll see a classpath defined, which is a list of various JARs in the top-level. After that comes JARs in the lib/ directory.
   
  If you want a really nice diagram and explanation of Orion [oc4j] classloading, check out http://kb.atlassian.com/content/atlassian/howto/classloaders.jsp.
   
  It's been a while since I messed around with this, but according to the diagram and explanation if you specify classes with "-cp" or "-classpath", as in
   
  java -cp %path_to_xerces%\xerces.jar -jar orion.jar
   
  then Xerces should get picked up _before_ Crimson, which latter is specified in orion.jar Manifest.mf.
   
  Another thing I did from time to time was just to edit and replace the Manifest.mf to suit what I wanted to do; now, Orion does use some classes that are specific (or did), but the errors will tell you what you have to leave in or not.
   
  Hope this helps,
