We are trying to implement a <Listener ... /> to be configured in the Tomcat 4 server.xml within a <Context ... /> or <DefaultContext ... />. When Tomcat starts up the Context and tries to add the Listener Class a ClassNotFoundException is thrown for the org.apache.catalina.LifecycleListener interface which it has to implement in order to be a Listener. Has anyone tried to implement and test a Listener recently in Tomcat 4? org.apache.catalina.LifecycleListener is located in /server/lib/catalina.jar, so the ClassLoader hierarchy is Server -> Common -> System -> Bootstrap. I suspect the problem is that the code that tries to setup the Listener is in the ClassLoader hierarchy Webapp -> Shared -> Common -> System -> Bootstrap.
