This reminds me of Tomcat classloader issues. You also have to make the JDBC drivers available to the common.loader, which loads classes that should be accessible to both the server and the web applications. The common classloader is responsible for loading classes common to the tomcat installation. Which are in the Tomcat 6 the server classes as well as addiontional classes like the JavaMail API oder some database driver classes (if you are configuring them with JNDI i.e.). -- http://nicl.net/2008/07/tomcat-6x-doing-it-the-right-way/ I've got one more quote and a question. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html \,,,/ (o o) ------oOOo-(_)-oOOo-------------- 4. Install the JavaMail libraries Download the JavaMail API. The JavaMail API requires the Java Activation Framework (JAF) API as well. The Java Activation Framework is included in Java SE 6 onwards. Java SE 5 users can download the latest version, JAF 1.1.1. Unpackage the distribution(s) and place mail.jar (and activation.jar if required) into $CATALINA_HOME/lib so the JAR(s) is(are) available to Tomcat during the initialization of the mail Session Resource. Note: placing jars in both $CATALINA_HOME/lib and a web application's lib folder will cause an error, so ensure mail.jar (and activation.jar) is(are) placed only the $CATALINA_HOME/lib location. ---------------------------------------------------- What is special about JavaMail, JAF (Activation) and JDBC drivers that they cannot be loaded by any other classloader? -- Michael Ludwig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@ant.apache.org
