Hi Mark, Just to be clear, I wasn't pointing to a Tomcat bug :(... I'm just trying to figure out why the NullPointerException doesn't happen when I don't have <load-on-startup> in my servlet's web.xml, but does happen when I have <load-on-startup> in the web.xml. Also, BTW, if I stop then start the servlet app using the Tomcat manager app, I don't get the NullPointerException. What might the difference be between when the <load-on-startup> is in the web.xml vs. not being in the web.xml? Doesn't Tomcat just load and call the servlet's init() method when the <load-on-startup> is present? I'm kind of guessing it may be a timing type issue, as in my servlet's init() method, I initialize the Oracle stuff. My initialization call returns, but it may be that there's still something going on behind-the-scenes that's not quite done.
