ok, i switched to today's nightly (20010906) but the error remains.
instead of bothering you again and again i downloaded the src (20010906) and
"fixed" the bug. (or at least make it disappear :-)
first i simply synchronized the complete method
(WebappClassLoader.findClassInternal) and that did the trick.
because of possible performance issues (dont know if there are some) i moved
the formally synchronized code to a separate synchronized method (and left
the findClassInternal unsynchronized).
but then the error reoccured (this time within the new method)... :-(
are there points for which the whole method must not be synchronized? if
not, i would synchronize it...
any other ideas?
as always - thanks dudes...

This stacktrace shows you're not using the latest CVS version or nightly
(which syncs the call to defineClass and would probably solve the issue).
In the latest version, line 1484 of WebappClassLoader is:
-----> synchronized(this) {
clazz = defineClass(name, entry.binaryContent, 0,
entry.binaryContent.length, codeSource);
}
In the version before, it was the defineClass call.
So could you try again with the latest nightly ? Looking at the stack trace,
it really looks like the bug which was fixed.
