I have an application that use j_security for a form-based authentication. =
When the application is deployed for the first time (or the tomcat is resta=
rted) user gets this exception when trying access a protected content direc=
tly (without login).

GRAVE: Servlet.service() for servlet [default] in context with path [/mycon=
text]  threw exception [Could not initialize class javax.servlet.http.Cooki=
e] with root cause

    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class javax.servle=

The excepted behaviour is to redirect the user to the login form and when t=
he user logs in redirect him to the requested protected resource.

But the weird thing is this works correctly if the first request send to th=
e rebooted server ask for the login form!!! It seems that after this tomcat=
 find and load correctly the cookie class and then all the request are hand=
led as expected.

Why tomcat cannot find the Cookie class that is for sure in the lib/servlet=
-api.jar? IMHO, no mmetter when this class is asked to be load for the firs=
t time ... it should be there for any valve, servlet, filter, etc ... I'm r=
ight?

PS: This was working fine before the app was migrated from tomcat 6.
