classpath

Is it possible to controll order of loaded classes at runtime? For example: I have class SomeClass which is in two jaras: SomeLibrary-1.0.jar and SomeLibrary-2.0.jar. The class have static method getVersion() which returns current version of SomeLibrary. I use solution found here to modify classpath at runtime. Now, when I run the code: public static void main(String[] args) { ClassPathHacker.addFile("SomeLibrary-1.0.jar"); ClassPathHacker.addFile("SomeLibrary-2.0.jar"); System.out.println(SomeClass.getVersion()); } I expect to see output 2.0 but there is 1.0 instead. This is because class

I have a strange problem with Spring using PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer . One of my beans is designed as follow : <bean name="propertyPlaceholder" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"> <property name="locations"> <value>classpath:jdbc.properties</value> </property> </bean> The problem is that spring never find jdbc.properties ( FileNotFoundException ). The file is in a folder named "resources" that is in the bundle classpath (I am working in a OSGi project). I have tried almost every combination ("jdbc.properties", "/jdbc.properties", "classpath:jdbc

Adobe ColdFusion 9 Multi-Server doesn't have the "JVM and Java Settings" page in the CF Admin, so to add something to the CF classpath, for a given instance, that instance must be started with an alternate jvm.config. I don't have a problem with starting with an alternate jvm.config. I do, however, have a problem knowing precisely how to edit that file in the proper way. My stock jvm.config looks like this (ignore line breaks--they are not in the actual file): java.args=-server -Xmx512m -Dcoldfusion.sessioncookie.httponly=true -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:

I got two classes with the same package in different JARs. Until the previous version, both classes were identical, so i had no issues in loading them. Now, one of them has a new method added and if I want to access it, not only should I import the class with that package, i also need to make sure the jar with the correct class comes first in the classpath. i.e. javac -classpath "%classpath%;a.jar;b.jar" MyClasses.. where a.jar has the class with my new method. Now, how do i ensure this when my app goes to production, where it's deployed as an EAR file, with all the libraries under WEB-INF/lib

I am trying to configure the classpath of a JAR so that my ResourceBundle can pick up property files from it. If I run it from the .class files and specify the -cp flag it works fine, and System.err.println(System.getProperty("java.class.path")); will print the path specified in the -cp flag. If I try and create a jar file for it, System.err.println(System.getProperty("java.class.path")); always prints the path of the jar file, and the property files aren't picked up. It seems if you are running it as a jar file you can't specify the -cp flag (which was what I was hoping, as it's common to
