Override a class in a jar - configuring TeamSite jboss build path

MikeMiracle

Hi All,

            I need to use 7.3 version of com.interwoven.livesite.business.BusinessSiteMap.class. This class is found in livesite.jar . The 7.4 version of the class is creating havocs with our SiteMap implementation.

 

I know that this is a hack and won't be supported in future versions.

 

Which is the best way to make sure that content center picks up older version of this class ?

 

Is there anyway to ensure a jar loading order in TeamSite's joboss ?

 

I am able to make it work by packing the 7.3.1 class into a new jar and placing it into livesite customer src lib path & rebuilding livesite toolkit. I also had to delete the class from 7.4 livesite.jar file.

 

But is there any way to do this without deleting the class file from livesite.jar . Basically , I need a way to set jar preference order in TeamSite's jboss build path so that my custom jar gets preference over livesite.jar ?

 

 

 

 

TeamSite/LiveSite 7.4.1

RHEL 5.3

You can't set the load order of the classpath in any container. Sometimes you can 'prefer' classes from certain locations, but that doesn't really help you here. Your solution, albeit dirty, is the only one (although you could have put your new copy back into livesite.jar, but that's no less dirty).
