Thanks Craig, Removing 'd:\tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\msqc\Web-inf\classes' from my classpath did the trick. BTW webinf instead of web-inf was a typo in my e-mail -Nimmi -----Original Message----- From: Craig R.

You have the following directory on the end of your classpath: d:\tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\msqc\Web-inf\classes which is going to cause any classes found there to be loaded from the "wrong" class loader. Try it without this directory on your classpath. It also looks like your CLASSPATH entry for the connection broker has a typo in it ("webinf" instead of "web-inf"). > > > Here are my environment variables if needed: > > CLASSPATH: > >.;d:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar;d:\jdk1.3\lib\dt.jar;d:\jdbc\classes12.zip;d:\tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\msqc\Webinf\classes\DbConnectionBroker1.0.11.zip;d:\tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\msqc\Web-inf\classes > > PATH: > D:\orant\bin;d:\jdk1.3\bin;d:\jdbc;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\Program Files\Mts > > JAVA_HOME: > d:\jdk1.3 > > TOMCAT_HOME: > d:\tomcat-3.2.1 > If the above doesn't solve it, could you double check the contents of "d:\jdk1.3\jre\lib\ext" just to make sure there is nothing suspicious there? In addition, could you post (or send me privately) the contents of the log files that Tomcat creates when trying to access your own application? You will need to shut Tomcat down afterwards in order for the log files to have any contents, due to Windows limitations. Craig
