Well, right, except that the development/deployment cycle is a lot
easier if you don't have to start up tomcat as a special case (i.e.
without struts.jar on the classpath). It's not a big deal; it just
means that anytime I want to use struts I should make sure that (a) the
environmental classpath doesn't include it, (b) every single element of
the classpath that I need for developmental purposes should be present
in my Ant build.xml file and (c) I should always start tomcat without
CLASSPATH being set.
I still think there's a portable way to make setContextClassLoader work,
but now that's more of a challenge for me than a problem to be worked
around. :-)
Cheers,
Laird
