http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13682 AxisServletBase throws NullPointerException when destroying on Tomcat 3.3.1 Summary: AxisServletBase throws NullPointerException when destroying on Tomcat 3.3.1 Product: Axis Version: current (nightly) Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Basic Architecture AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tomcat used to automagically reload my classes when I compiled.
