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.

Thanks,
Jim
