[Red5] about version 0.6 / my current experiences

[Ruben Waitz]

Hi Joachim,

I'm pulling my hair out to get apps working without adding classes to 
red5.jar. Ofcourse with a server restart each attempt.

It seems that webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes/myapp/Application.class is 
simply ignored or skipped.

I connected it from webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/red5-web.xml in the following way:
<bean id="web.handler" 
  class="myapp.Application" 
  singleton="true" />

Also I made all neccessary changes red5-web.properties (webapp.contextPath) 
and web.xml (webrootkey)

Also, for insurance, I copied 'Application.class' to webapps/myapp/WEB-
INF/classes/ but had no success either.

Finally tried it on Linux to avoid 'wrapper.exe' but this was unsuccessful 
also.

Am I forgetting something to let it work...?

(Furthermore I noticed that all 'shipped' application-examples make use of 
classes in the red5.jar. That's why they do always work I think...)
