Jon, Actually, there isn't a mail.jar or activation.jar in common/lib or anywhere in the tomcat directory structure for that matter. But your comment got me thinking... I moved the mail.jar and activation.jar from the WEB-INF/lib directory of my application to the common/lib folder and lo and behold it all began to work. Curious... wonder why it wasn't there to begin with.
Anyway, thanks to all for the responses... -C- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon Wingfield" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 26, 2003 1:19 PM Subject: Re: Mail Session oddity > But mail.jar and activation.jar are also in the common/lib directory. > I'll bet it's a ClassLoader issue and the exception is really a wrapped > ClassCastException. > > http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader-howto.html > > Jon > > Cord Awtry wrote: > > > Yo Yaov, > > > > Actually, I didn't truncate the wrong part... that IS the root cause, I > > left off the beginning and truncated the lowerhalf of the root cause > > stacktrace.
