I should apologize. I think that I should be posting this to the USER group and not the DEV group.

We have a main servlet that we want instantiated before any pages are hit. Hence, in the web.xml, we use the directive <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>. In addition, we use a Custom Class Loader that extends WebapppClassLoader because our core classes are encrypted. Here is the rub. The web application works fine but I get an error in the Catalina log when the app starts, but only when using the Custom Class Loader. The error basically says that the main servlet that I am trying to load cannot be found. But, the servlet is found when I hit the page, or the application would not work at all. The problem does not seem to be in the Custom Class Loader itself, but in the way the main servlet is being accessed when the "load-on-startup" is applied. I assume that the load-on-startup directive would attempt to load my main servlet class using the Custom Class Loader, but perhaps it does not? I have to me missing something here. Any help is appreciated. Kevin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
