Hi Allistair, The JAR looks fine to me. It was created using ant. I've tried using an exploded version, so with separate .class files, but that still doesn't work. The testcase I posted in ASF bugzilla works for other people, so something must be wrong on my side.
I'm going to try to test this completely isolated from Eclipse, see if that changes anything... who knows, this might turn out to be an Eclipse issue :) I'll repost as soon as I have any new information, thanx for your help so far.

Did you get a chance to look into the JAR structure? How do you create your JAR? Have you tried your use case with exploded classes rather than a JAR?

I've filed a bug in the ASF bugzilla providing a test-case, it's bug 39093. Tanx for your time!

Rename your JAR to .ZIP and examine how its packaged the classes. Allistair. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hamer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 March 2006 14:43 To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Tomcat 5.5.16 Bug? messes up when a class has the same name as a package Hi Allistair, You're missing one vital part :-) You've got only 1 class: com.qas.Qas The problem should occur when you add a second class called: com.Qas Now try com.qas.Qas qas = new com.qas.Qas(); in your JSP again.

I then refactored to com.qas.Qas And re-tested again without issue. Perhaps the issue exibits itself when the classes are packed into a JAR. How did you create your JAR? Allistair. -----Original Message----- From: Allistair Crossley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 March 2006 13:29 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Tomcat 5.5.16 Bug? messes up when a class has the same name as a package Tomcat is just adhering to the Sun Java specification naming conventions. Packages should be lowercase. If Eclipse allows it, it's being "nice" to you in the same way that IE is "nice" about rendering invalid HTML. It's better Tomcat forces you to correct your bad naming conventions than encouraging it. Cheers, Allistair. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hamer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 March 2006 13:24 To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Tomcat 5.5.16 Bug? messes up when a class has the same name as a package Hi again, Just checked: the same problem occurs with Tomcat 5.5.15. Regards, Paul Hamer management & development [EMAIL PROTECTED] toHAVE websolutions www.tohave.nl [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hamer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 23 March 2006 13:59 To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Tomcat 5.5.16 Bug? messes up when a class has the same name as a package Hi, I just updated to Tomcat 5.5.16 about 2 days after it was released. Yesterday I walked into what seems to be a bug. I'm not sure whether Tomcat 5.5.15 had this problem as well. I am sure, however, that Tomcat 4.0.6 did *not* have this problem. I've got the following class/package structure: 1: nl.hhv.merlin.gui.editor.EditButtons 2: nl.hhv.merlin.gui.Editor 3: nl.hhv.merlin.gui.editor2.EditButtons Note that packagename of the first class is equal to the fully qualified name of the second class (except for caps/nocaps). This should be no problem right?!? At least it never was until now. Now I have a JSP that simply does: <% nl.hhv.merlin.gui.editor.EditButtons buttons = null; %> Eclipse has no problems with this JSP, and happily accepts it, why shouldn't it? Looks fine to me to :-) But Tomcat 5.5.16 gives me the following error: Generated servlet error: nl.hhv.merlin.gui.editor cannot be resolved to a type When I change my JSP to: <% nl.hhv.merlin.gui.editor2.EditButtons buttons = null; %> Tomcat compiles the JSP without any problems. Note that the 2nd EditButtons class is an EXACT copy of the first. All three classes are zipped into the same jar, so it's not a classpath issue. Any thoughts on this?
