Tomcat 4.0.1 - Linux - sun jdk 1.3.1_02 I'm developing a web app where users are authenticated on a Oracle database. I have implemented a personal Realm class called (for example) MyRealm. This class create an instance of a class MyPrincipal (implementing java.security.Principal) and store some logon information on it. When I call request.getUserPrincipal() in my servlets/JSPs and try to cast to MyPrincipal, I obtain a ClassCastException. The Principal instance returned from request.getUserPrincipal() is really a MyPrincipal instance (as getClass().getName() says). The JAR file containing MyPrincipal definition is located both $CATALINA_BASE/common/lib and $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib, and naturally the two files are identical.
I suppose it is a problem due to two different classloaders (org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader and org.apache.jasper.servlet.JasperLoader). How can I solve this problem?
