What is the context classloader?  I didn't see that:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html

> to load its extensions.

I have to be honest... I think this is a HUGE problem.

I haven't been following these issues on tomcat-dev.  Are there any threads I
should read?

I think that this will cause a LOT of people a LOT of headaches.  The Cocoon2
guys should really feel this.  So would anyone doing Xerces/Xalan stuff from
within a Servlet.

What happens under 1.4 which makes this different?  Is there anything that can
be done about this?

Anyway... whatever the long term solution to this, I think it needs to be
documented very well....

Anyway... sorry to be freaking out about this.  We have a fairly distributed app
(http://reptile.openprivacy.org) and it uses Tomcat 4.x.... I can't release on
4.0.1 because of security issues and I can't use any of the other builds because
it breaks my code... :(

Thanks for you help Remy!  Time for sleep... 

Kevin
