Class loader attempts to open directory as file

           Summary: Class loader attempts to open directory as file
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.4 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: OS/2
            Status: NEW

When attempting to start Tomcat 4.04 under OS/2, startup fails with

java.util.zip.ZipException: The file or directory specified is read-only.

This occurs because Tomcat class loader attempts to open the classes directory
as a file.  Without looking at the Tomcat code, I suspect its attempting to
check if the directory exists.  OS/2 does not allow directories to be opened as
a files.

A temporary workaround is to rename the classes directories so that file open fails.

Thanks
