i have a servlet that creates a thread in it's service method. this
thread basically does a bunch of initialization stuff.
when i add a load-on-startup element for this servlet in web.xml, it
reports a NoClassDefFoundError on a class in the same package as the
servlet.
i have not seen this problem with any other load-on-startup servlets.
the only difference is that this servlet kicks off a new thread.
ideas? is this a bug, or just bad programming on my part (well, not
really my part, but that's another story...)?
i started to look through the startup/loader/class loader, but quickly
got overwhelmed :)
