ok, i try to develop a test case (and environment). but my first attempt to
reproduce the error in that testcase failed (even though it remains in my
"real" application). here's a short doc on what's happening:
1. i start tomcat with tomcat/bin/catalina.sh -config myserver.xml - file
follows
tomcat startup message

c:/tools/java/tomcat4/bin/bootstrap.jar;c:\tools\java\jdk\1.3.1/lib/tools.ja

2. i've written a servlet which is executed on tomcat-startup (web.xml

3. within the init method i start some threads that are alive throughout the

4. upon first execution there's the linkage-error

you are right: the error upon jsp-compilation disappeared (i did not recheck
after switching to tomcat 4b07 right after its release)
hope this helps (you to help me) - thanks again, i appreciate your work. as
i said i'm trying to build the testcase. perhaps i have to strip down my
application to gain the test case... but perhaps this is only a
configuration fault or there's a workaround... (for now the workaround is,
that i simply catch the error for i know that the second run works - i could
live with that if i am the only one struggling with this)...
sincerly,
pero

At least the JSP part is supposed to be fixed.
It's bug 3107 (http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3107), and
the attached test case (which looks like it would duplicate your problem) is
now working fine for me.
If it's still not working, would it be possible to pull together a test case
? Could I get the stack trace you get in your threaded app if pulling
together a test case isn't possible ?
