Not too much. The JBoss CVS commit history and their JIRA don't give too many details. For JBoss 4.0.2 they switched to using the standard Tomcat webapp classloader by default (instead of their own). I'm *guessing* that the problem might arise because JBoss has commons-logging.jar on the server classpath, while Tomcat standalone use commons-logging-api.jar. I'm about to take on a project related to JBoss/Tomcat integration, so that will give me a chance to check it out more (i.e. stop filtering JCL in WEB-INF/lib and see what breaks). Sorry to have dropped out of sight -- wife and baby are heading home for a long period to see grandparents, so starting next week I'll be a bachelor programmer again. - Brian __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
