<snip> I repackaged the war file putting the troublesome class package under WEB-INF/classes instead of in a jar file under WEB-INF/lib. Same problem. Again, it works fine when Tomcat is running with jre 1.5, but I get the embedded ClassNotFoundException under jre 1.6. -- Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
