I suspect things ended up under the wrong classloader, making life difficult for all concerned. You will probably have to just replace server/lib/catalina.jar with your modified version. I don't see where className was ever a documented attribute for a element in 5.0 (although it apparently was in 4.1); it is a valid attribute for though. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Hijacking the coyote connector
In tomcat 5.0.28, we were able to replace the coyote connector using a "className" setting in the connector in server.xml. In tomcat 5.5.9 it looks like "className" is ignored. Looking at the source, it looks like the Connector is hardcoded in. Is this the case or am I missing something? My next attempt, I repackaged our connector to replace the org.apache.catalina.connector package and put that in the -Xbootclasspath to override the released version. With -verbose:class set I can see my Connector being loaded, but the next class loaded is java/lang/reflect/InvocationTargetException and the JVM terminates. The documentation says that this is used to wrap an exception when a method or constructor is called by reflection. As I said above it looks to me like the constructor is called directly not via reflection. Am I missing something obvious? I know that using the AJP connector is a cleaner way, but we estimate the serialization overhead will cost us about 5% on our platform.
