Of course the mystery remains as to WHICH jar file, because the error message above neglects to mention which jar file. This leaves the user with the following options: - Spend hours randomly shooting in the dark trying to find which jar is missing - Spend hours setting up tomcat in a debugging environment to set a breakpoint so that it can be seen which jar is missing. The fix: Include the name of the jar file in the error message. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
