What, pray tell, is a "static instance" in Java terminology? If the class file of interest is being loaded by separate classloaders, then there will be separate java.lang.Class instances for each, despite originating from the same .class file. However, the OP claims that the class is in the shared library, and should therefore be loaded by Tomcat's shared class loader - once. Since independent testing verifies the proper operation of a normally configured Tomcat, the OP's environment is either non-standard (e.g., someone's been mucking around with conf/catalina.properties), or the framework is using its own classloader, or the OP doesn't really know where his classes are. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
