That's a lot of attitude for someone who wants help from the list. Or am
I misreading your tone?

I refer to my previous question:

(An actual error message would also be useful.)


You say you are using Tomcat 6 for development, and Tomcat 5.5 in
production.  Is the error occurring in development or production?

Which version of Tomcat are you compiling the classes against?  The
internal class structure of Tomcat 6 is not guaranteed to be identical
to Tomcat 5.5, so it's entirely possibly you're using a class that
doesn't exist in 5.5, if you're compiling against 6 and deploying
against 5.5.  (or vice versa).

{

The most common reason that a ClassNotFoundException is encountered
while mixing testing/deployment on different versions of Tomcat is that
jars have been placed in the wrong location.

List members usually offer up the obvious solutions first, because
they're the most common solutions.  Especially given that one message is
usually insufficient to determine what the users level of knowledge is.

Fsck knows why I'm bothering to explain that though.
