Thanks Doc. I am attempting to refactor common classes is not for
saving "a bit more of PermGen" space, but to create a structured layering.
You won't duplicate a sorting algorithm even if it takes only a few more bytes
would you?
I am trying to determine if its possible to attempt such a layering with
Tomcat. I guess the answer is that this is not possible?
Also, could you pl address the following question:
>2) In the lifecycle of a webapp context:

> - is the webapp classloader loaded by the commons
> classloader or the system classloader?
> - which classloader loads the context loader listener?
Gracias,
