Thanks Craig, I'm in the middle of some tricky development with Cocoon at the moment and I don't wont to risk breaking my environment just at this instant. I hadn't consciously had a problem with this on Tomcat (only specifically within the internal ClassLoaders of Cocoon). I only mentioned it because the bug was one of these 'hard to pinpoint' ones that meant that some people's setups seemed to work and others didn't for no apparent reason. It stuck me that Tomcat was likely to be doing similar stuff, and it was worth looking for incase it was a problem for someone else. Hopefully some folk's setups will magically work now. I will update my CVS copy soon. Thanks again for following this up so quickly - I was worried this morning that I might have lead you on a wild goose chase! Festive greetings from Scotland, Stuart.
