Java classloading hierarchy is not bidirectional - classes can see only up the tree (unless you're using reflection). For Tomcat 5.5, I think you'll need to refactor your code, separating the valve and the part needed by both the valve and the webapp. The jar containing valve proper should be placed in server/lib, and the jar holding the common bits into common/lib. If you moved up to Tomcat 6, the classloading hierarchy is much simpler; your existing jar would just go into the single lib directory. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
