Greetings.

I have sent a number of posts on an issue I have been experiencing in TC 5
(5.0.19 and now 5.0.24) regarding classloading of TEI classes (one in one or
two instances custom tag classes).

Yoav asked me to try and create a WAR with the problem existing within the
WAR. I have failed to do this I am afraid. I have however been able to
determine a number of additional bits of information:

Problem synopsis:

After a restart of Tomcat (5.0.24) and Apache 2.0.49 (jk2.04) - the first
request the the webapp produces the following error more often than not -
(however after a refresh this error goes away):


Alternatively, the following error is sometimes thrown (also goes away after
a refresh):

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /doclib/foldermain.jsp(14,0) Unable to
load tag handler class "com.platform_basic.security.IfAccessTag" for tag
"pb:ifAccess"

 javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service (HttpServlet.java:810)

A number of bits of (?) important info:

1. The problem NEVER occurs when access the webapp directly via Tomcat (the
HTTP1.1 connector) - it only occurs when accessing the webapp via Apache and
AJP1.3 using mod_jk2.04.

2. The problem is more apprent if the webapp uses frames in its structure
(with each frame containing a JSP that accesses the taglib)

3. If I manually classload the TEI classes in an Init servlet that the
container loads at startup the errors do not seem to occur.

Is there a difference between some classloader (WebAppClassLoader)
initialisation routines if the access is via the Tomcat HTTP connector vs.
the AJP JK Connector?

Hope someone has some ideas!

Regards,

Carl
