Can you modify org.firebird.gds.GDSExceptionHelper by replacing init
() method with this code:

/**
* This method initializes the messages map.
* @todo think about better exception handling.
*/
private static void init() {
try {
ClassLoader cl = GDSException.class.getClassLoader();
String res = MESSAGES.replace('.','/') + ".properties";
java.io.InputStream in = cl.getResourceAsStream(res);

if (in == null) {
cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
in = cl.getResourceAsStream(res);
}

if (in != null)
messages.load(in);

} catch (Exception ex) {
if (log!=null) log.info(
"Exception in init of GDSExceptionHelper", ex);
} finally {
initialized = true;
}
}


It seems that for webservers we should use context classloader...

If this code works, I will add it to the CVS.

Thanks!
