As I recall, the webapp classloader takes precedence over the system classloader (the -cp path handler), but I'd have to check the code to be sure. Also, on Tomcat 6, there is no shared lib directory, unless you have modified conf/catalina.properties. > In which case I don't understand why my webapp complains > that it can't find the class... Timing issues can cause things to be loaded in a different order; if the class from Tomcat's lib or the system classpath gets loaded first, you will not be able to cast references to its objects to the class in WEB-INF/lib directory. This often results in the somewhat misleading NCDFE. > Although, I don't think this is the case in my situation. > Spring is only used inside my webapp. So the Spring jars exist *only* in WEB-INF/lib? - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
