Hi experts,

I'm trying to understand how I can leverage'Applib' classloader.

Following simple Web-app with one jsp having the scriptlet

" <%
  ResourceBundle bundle = RBLoader.loadResourceBundle();
%>"

The class 'RBLoader' receides in lib 'RBLib.jar'

The class itself looks like

public class RBLoader {
    private static final String BUNDLE_NAME = "testconfig";

    public static ResourceBundle loadResourceBundle() {
        ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle(BUNDLE_NAME);
        return bundle;
    }

}

The resource bundle file is put into 'TestBundle.jar'

jar tvf <instance-dir>/lib/applibs/TestBundle.jar
     0 Wed Nov 23 11:25:18 CET 2011 META-INF/
    65 Wed Nov 23 11:25:18 CET 2011 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
    24 Wed Nov 23 11:23:40 CET 2011 testconfig.properties

Why do I get a 'MissingResourceException'

[#|2011-11-23T11:55:39.186+0100|WARNING|glassfish3.1.1|javax.enterprise.system.c

when I deploy the app using

asadmin .... deploy --libraries TestBundle.jar,RBLib.jar <path-to-web-app>

Thanks for shedding some light...

P.S. I'm try this not just for fun but having a 3rd party app which does
work similar
