I think I've found out the same thing from the stuff I've read. I might have to stick with Tomcat 4 in order to keep our server working (and live with the crashes).
I know it sounds simple to move everything into a package, but when I do that, I lose all of my serialized objects. Our original classes never had packages (from several years ago), and they've just not been modified. The problem with packaging them is that I lose all of my customers' data that has been serialized over the past many years. Does anyone know a way around the serialization problem? If there's an easy solution, I would jump on moving all of our classes into a package immediately -- something we've been wanting to do for a few years. Thanks for the help everyone, hopefully someone has a deserialization solution as well!
