MissingResourceException calling ResourceBundle.getBundle in

[karmen38]

Hi All,

I am migrating the application from JBoss 4.0.1sp1 to 4.0.2 and I've got MissingResourceException when calling ResourceBundle.getBundle("version"); It works fine with 4.0.1sp1 but I wanter to stay on the pure release of JBoss.

The packaging is like this: I have an EAR file. Inside it there is a WAR file and a bunch of JAR files (EJB's and just java libraries). Inside WAR file there is a WEB-INF\classes\version.properties file.

I have WAR file in my EAR's META-INF\application.xml file defined in module/web section with web-uri and context-root nodes defined.

Exception is this one:

Caused by: java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name version, locale en_US
at java.util.ResourceBundle.throwMissingResourceException(ResourceBundle.java:804)
at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundleImpl(ResourceBundle.java:773)
at java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle(ResourceBundle.java:511)

Basically, that's it. It seems that something has been changed in class loader.

Thank you for your help.

Read the release note on the class loading change in the web container. Presumably the resource is not being loaded from a war class and so it can no longer be found.

Scott,

Thank you for your answer. I agree that the problem is in Tomcat. I realized that JBoss 4.0.2 has Tomcat 5.5 embedded while JBoss 4.0.1sp1 had Tomcat 5.0.

Tomcat claims that JDK 1.5 should be used with 5.5. I switched the JDK to 1.5 and still get the same problem with getBundle. I understand that this topic should be transferred to Tomcat group but if someone may help me here I would appreciate your help.

Also I tried to package version.property file into some application package so it would not be in the root of the classes directory and it did not help as well.

Thank you,
Mark

Issue report with an example deployment that illustrates the problem is the next step.
