Description

Follows on from JENA-525.

The OntDocumentManager has a default path for looking for policy files of file:ont-policy.rdf;file:etc/ont-policy.rdf but as of commit r1455078 / 2013-03-11, the default policy files go into src/main/resources.

OntDocumentManager uses the old/core FileManager explicitly in findMetadata with file, URL and classloader locators.

The core LocatorClassloader converts URIs to plain file names which then have no file: so it looks up ont-policy.rdf on the locator list. This is always found by the class loader - it's in the jar. file:etc/ont-policy.rdf will never be tried.

The consequence is that file:ont-policy.rdf is always found - it may be a real file or in the jar.

Workaround

Set the path explicitly with OntDocumentManager.setMetadataSearchPath
