what is offending classes?

[subodh gupta]

Hi Ranchers,

Can somebody help me explaining the offending classes?

[Ernest Friedman-Hill]

This is not a technical term of any kind. The word "offending" can mean something like "guilty" in English; "the offending classes" could mean "the classes that are to blame for the problem" or "the classes that have something wrong with them." Did someone use this phrase in a discussion here, or in an article? Can you link to where you saw this phrase?

thanks

actually i was migrating my application from tomcat 5.x to tomcat 6.x and i was getting the offending classes error but i wasn't able to pinpoint the position than because it was to urgent i got the solution to put the loader property in context.xml and i done that.

Now i know what i did but didn't understood why that was happening that way.

The term doesn't mean anything to me either. If you ever see the error again, I recommend you copy the exact error message, including the stack trace. Then we might have a better chance of determining what it means.

while i was trying to regenerate the problem i got the following error can you tell me how to get rid of this.

 java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.catalina.util.DefaultAnnotationProcessor

Do you think you have the right annotations ?? Can you paste the class here ?

Thanks

[subodh gupta]

i can paste the method and i am not using annotations

  public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
if (ignore || (request.getCharacterEncoding() == null)) {
String encoding = selectEncoding(request);
if (encoding != null)
request.setCharacterEncoding(encoding);
response.setCharacterEncoding(encoding);
// System.out.println("Encode");
}
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
if (req.getSession(false) == null
|| (req.getParameter("login") == null && req.getSession(false).getAttribute(
"USER_OBJ") == null)) {
RequestDispatcher dispatch = request
.getRequestDispatcher("/pages/adm/login/login.jsp?login=true");
dispatch.forward(request, response);
return;
}
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}

just had this message 'cause i deployed a webapp containing the file j2ee.jar ... which is obviously wrong! ;)

org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader validateJarFile
