Subject: New classloader hierarchy in Tomcat 3.3 causes problems not
	 occuring with Tomcat 3.1

Hi,

I have the following problem with the new hierarchy of class loaders in
Tomcat 3.3:

I am using a self-written interceptor which needs classes from j2ee.jar. It
 seems that this
requires that j2ee.jar is available to the "Common"-Classloader.
Unfortunately then the
"Container"-Classloader will have j2ee.jar in its classpath before the
tomcat jar files which
is fatal because it then uses older incompatible versions of classes like
SunJavaCompiler.

Is there any other solution to this than removing all duplicate files from
j2ee.jar.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
