I'm not surprised iPlanet worked the same. I believe the servlet spec is
now quite explicit about the different class loaders that must be used and
how they work. I'm sure it was no great joy for the folks who had to
implement it.

classes within a webapp.

available in the virtual machine, but loaded with the same classloader that
loaded the webapp??? Do you suppose this is a bug or are we supposed to
put, and only put, our services that we make available by soap into the
webapp's classes directory? That seems a little dirty to me.
