Well, aren't I quite the idiot? Sorry for wasting your time, but thanks very much for responding! Goes to show I shouldn't do these things when I'm exhausted. I've reverted to the standard configuration. I've also just realised that the original error that sparked my ill-founded investigation had nothing to do with generics, except insofar as I removed a bunch of casts when I updated some HashMaps to use generics, and in the process accidentally removed a cast from a request.getAttribute() call. Again, apologies for the time wasting (believe me, I really am sorry that I wasted so much time -- I've been up all night -- it's almost 6 am here now). Next time I'll sleep first, and ask questions the next day, if I still can't solve them. Cheers, Johannes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
