I have re-published the Beta 1 distribution to the various download sites. This newer version removes the "Extension-List" manifest entries for commons-logging and JUnit. I tested an HttpClient servlet with Tomcat 4.1.18 and all seemed well. The jar on ibiblio has not been updated as of yet, but I will keep you posted.

I looked into the stack trace and found that there needed to be some
modification toward the associated
jars-commons-httpclient-2.0-beta1.jar, junit-3.8.1.jar, and
commons-logging-1.0.jar.

First, Tomcat's org.apache.catalina.loader.Extension.getRequired
distinguishes required libraries by delimiter not "," but " ".
Therefore,

Extension-List: junit,commons-logging

should be

Extension-List: junit commons-logging

in MANIFEST.MF of httpclient jar.
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/extensions/versioning.html
proves the usage.)

Next, since Tomcat's resolving algorithm for required libraries is quite
strict as implemented in o.a.c.l.WebappLoader.validatePackages(),
Specification-Version and Implementation-Vendor-Id of the extensions
should be defined like this:


junit-Extension-Name: junit
junit-Specification-Version: 3.8.1
junit-Implementation-Vendor-Id:
junit-Implementation-Version: 3.8.1
junit-Implementation-URL:
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/junit/jars/junit-3.8.1.jar
commons-logging-Extension-Name: org.apache.commons.logging
commons-logging-Specification-Version: 1.0
commons-logging-Implementation-Vendor-Id:
commons-logging-Implementation-Version: 1.0.2
commons-logging-Implementation-URL:
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/commons-logging/jars/commons-logging- 1.0.2.
jar


In accordance with the above addition, MANIFEST of junit and
commons-logging also should be updated to comply with
commons-httpclient.

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: Ant 1.4.1
Extension-Name: junit
Specification-Version: 3.8.1
Implementation-Vendor-Id:
Implementation-Version: 3.8.1

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: Apache Ant 1.5.1beta1
Extension-Name: org.apache.commons.logging
Specification-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation
Specification-Version: 1.0
Implementation-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation
Implementation-Vendor-Id:
Implementation-Version: 1.0.2
Class-Path: log4j.jar log4j-core.jar

Otherwise, you can figure out this conflict by simply removing
Extension-List and its followings. The attached files are completely
updated MANIFESTs. Again, I'd like to remind you that this issue is now
only proved to be relevant with Tomcat and hence am not sure it can
cause a problem under other platforms. (I saw my colleague using
http-client 2.0 beta 1 on his dos prompt without trouble even though his
classpath didn't include junit.jar.)


Thanks for this great work, http-client 2.0,

Ias.
