OHJ, Java Web Start and class loaders

328709Oct 23 2002

Greetings,

Our application runs under webstart on Windows 2000 and we use OHJ as on-line help. Our application uses a different version of the ICE browser, so we are forced to load the four OHJ jars into a separate URLClassLoader. This works fine when running from the command line, but we've seen various problems running under webstart, varying from the Help object unable to find its images to an inability to create an instance of oracle.help.htmlBrowser.ICEBrowser. We suspect these issues are due to the fact that Java web start uses its own class loader. We've prototyped OHJ without the URLClassLoader, and it runs fine under webstart.

Does OHJ create its own class loader for any reason? Does it use getSystemClassLoader() to retrieve its images via getResource?

thanks for your help,

Elizabeth Dyer.
