Rob,
This is great information. I wonder if you could explain
why it is that I need to put xml4j.jar file under the $CLASSPATH
(i.e. $TOMCAT_HOME/lib) that is loaded by an init() method of
a servlet?
Once I do this the class, com.ibm.xml.parsers.DOMParser, is found.
Stack trace below.
Anyh help would be much appreciated.
Thanks again for the great info,
Aron.

Subject: Class loading & classloader visibility test results
For those that may be interested...
I was unclear as to how Tomcat was resolving class
loading and the visibility of classes to a context's
classloader so I created a simlpe test suite.
The test results are attached.
