I had one invalid .jar file where signing information was not correct. XML Graphics Commons When calling ClasspathResource.loadManifests(), via ClasspathResource.getInstance(), it correctly fails with a "java.lang.SecurityException: Invalid signature file digest for Manifest main attributes", however it does not tell me which actual jar-file could not be loaded. Please enhance exception handling in that method so that it reports which jar-file failed, e.g. --- ClasspathResource.java 2010-07-02 14:04:28.000000000 +0200 +++ ClasspathResource.java.new 2012-08-09 08:20:21.428843500 +0200 @@ -138,6 +138,8 @@ addToMapping(contentType, name, classLoader); } } + } catch (SecurityException se) { + throw new SecurityException("While handling " + u, se); } catch (IOException io) { // TODO: Log. }
