Hi,
I'm getting the same error.  I searched my entire computer for any jar/zip
files containing javax.servlet.ServletContext
and renamed all of them to ".original" so that they wouldn't be read by the
JVM.  I did this to all the files except for the file
common/lib/servlet-api.jar

I'm still getting the problem.

I'm using java version 1.4.2_10

The code i'm using used to work under Orion version 1.4.5 (I'm now using
Tomcat 5.5)
The code that eventually throws the exception is basically:

ClassFinder classFinder = new ClassFinder();
classFinder.addFile("/opt/classes/com/canlink/commands/");
Class usrClass = classFinder.findClass("com.canlink.commands.TestClass");

This line is what throws the exception:
	Method setCmdLog = usrClass.getMethod("setCmdLog", new Class[]
{Boolean.class});

The stack trace is:
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet RunCmd threw exception

See - http://tomcat.apache.org/faq/classnotfound.html

Odds are you have your own servlet-api.jar somewhere in the webapp or system
classpath and that is conflicting with the one in common/lib (installed by
tomcat)
