oh - I thought it started out as null for some reason. Even then I have seen applications where it is null, and it would suck if your app started throwing NPEs or failing because of this. It would also suck for any applications that create ClassLoaders but don't set the ContextClassLoader (or set it to another value) because they would fail. -- Cheers, Pete ------------------------------------------------------ Mark Twain: "In the real world, the right thing never happens in the right place at the right time.
