Submitted as bug 57772 <https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57772>. The example WAR is on github, and the steps to reproduce should be easy to follow. I suppose your code could try { ... } catch (NoClassDefFoundError) but > if course that's a stupid hack that should not be necessary. But, > it'll get the job done until a patch is available for Tomcat. Yeah, I did that for my generic initialization layer, so other components could stop if one failed. This is a part of Tomcat's code with which I have little familiarity, Ha, same here. Thanks for your investigation, and your explanation. [it] helps me get my brain around it and will also help whoever > will end up fixing this (not likely me, due to said lack of familiarity). No problem. Thank you for your help, Chris!
