Hi Jeff,
You are welcome.
Now that you point it out, I remember facingthe "all or
none" class loading problem. By the way, that was a very
systematic approach to the problem I have seen in a long time.

JS:hi, thank you, kamesh,
JS:
JS:with your advice i went back to my zones= directive in my
JS:jserv.properties file and commented out the "webmail.properties="
JS:line and rewrote the "zones=" line from
JS:
JS:zones=root,webmail
JS:
JS:to
JS:
JS:zones=root
JS:
JS:this effectively isolated out webmail temporarily, and then when
JS:i restarted, everything worked fine.
JS:
JS:well, i figured out that it was an installation of webmail
JS:(http://jwebmail.sourceforge.net/) via the current rpm
JS:(webmail-0.7.4-1) which had broken everything. when i
JS:investigating further, i discovered that the reason the webmail
JS:servlet rpm blew everything up was that it had been packaged
JS:incorrectly: its "/etc/httpd/conf/jserv/webmail.properties" file
JS:was still erroneouslypointing all its
JS:repositories to an older directory (/usr/lib/webmail-0.7.3/*)
JS:tree, when the newer rpm was putting everything in
JS:/usr/lib/webmail-0.7.4! (Same for the "servlet.webmail.initArgs="
JS:directive at the end of that file) So JServ was bombing out
JS:trying to load classes it could not find.
JS:
JS:So then I went back in again and put the webmail references BACK
JS:into the jserv.properties file, but this time, i replaced all
JS:occurences of "0.7.3" in the webmail.properties file with
JS:"0.7.4", and now JServ does not bomb out trying to load classes
JS:it cannot find.
JS:
JS:So your advice did help, by pointing me in the right direction.
JS:
JS:Thank you, Kamesh
