I am using tomcat as a JMX MBean, using JBoss code. When I use struts in my webapp. I get NoClassDefFoundError in AdaptiveClassLoader. If I add checks for NoClassDefFoundError at the same place as checks for ClassNotFoundException the code 'falls through' to load the class properly. The seems like a bug to me, as AdaptiveClassLoader should check for NoClassDefFoundError. Also the order of loading classes seems wrong. It tries the system class loader before looking in it's list of jars I had a brief look at Tomcat-4.0 and this also appears not to check for NoClassDefFoundError. Should I report this as a bug? thanks bill
