Remy,

thanks, that's good to hear - I'm still having a nightmare of a time resolving
one last issue.

I have a large jar file that contains, amongst other things (e.g. an ejb
container, a namingservice etc) javax.naming package.

If I deploy this to the common/lib and start tomcat I get the following
exception however,
if I remove the javax.naming package from my jarfile the issue goes away (but
burns me in a different situation
later):

I'm hoping that when the naming references are placed in a jar file separate
from StandardContext, this very strange problem
may clear up - out of interest - any one have any idea what the error means?
(After all - the method createNamingContext isn't actually
being called (or at least it shouldn't be!)

-Thom

Here's the exception:

Exception during startup processing
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: java.lang.VerifyError: (class:

apache/catalina/core/StandardContext, method: createNamingContext signature:
