I already apologized 3 times for the problems with Xalan in particular. Thankfully, the workaround is simple enough. So here's one more: I'd like to apologoize for letting this bug sneak in the release. 4.0.4 b1 should fix it (at least with Xalan). The only thing this release should not like is if you have the servlet API classes in a JAR. Both 4.0.2 and 4.0.4 b1 fix a lot of bugs which existed in 4.0.1, so I don't consider them any more buggy than 4.0.1, or esp 4.0. I guess if you were using native connectors, you would have a much different opinion ;-) I don't see any change which would cause the multiple init invocation. I've seen reports of this with JSPs, but none with servlets. Does it also happen with 4.0.3, or is it only with 4.0.4 b1 ? > I am also getting some classes that aren't found within the same .jar that > other classes ARE found. > > Again...
