Nor should he do so. Tomcat uses its own classloaders, not the JVM system class loader, to find and initialize all classes other than those in bootstrap.jar. If you don't know how Tomcat class loading works, please review the doc: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
