Hi list,

I'm having a very odd problem with tomcat 3.3.1 on windows today,

suddenly, and for no apparent reason, tomcat's classloader is having 
problems accessing (public) methods in any of my beans. All the code I'm 
working on has been running fine for over a month.

here's the stacktrace:

javax.servlet.ServletException:  Cannot create bean of class DbUtilities

In this instance the bean in question is DBUtilities, but I get the same 
result for all other beans in any of the web apps I'm running.

I found this on sun's site regarding the IllegalAccessException:

Thrown when an application tries to load in a class through its string name 
using:
The forName method in class Class.
The findSystemClass method in class ClassLoader.
The loadClass method in class ClassLoader.
but the currently executing method does not have access to the definition of 
the specified class, because the class is not public and in another package.

None of these cases are relevant, especially since up until an hour ago teh 
code had been running fine, and the ClassLoader was fiding my beans without 
any problems.

The directory in which the beans are stored (mywebapp\web-inf\classes) is in 
my classpath, hte beans arn't packaged (this is tomcat 3x). The class in 
question is imported into a jsp via a jsp:Usebean tag. As I said, this is 
now happenning with all my beans in all my webapps. All have the correct 
public no-argument consrtuctors. I havn't changed anything in my tomcat 
config. Previously the code was running fine.

Posts regarding this Exception in the archive seem to be mainly package or 
JNDI related, not the case here.

Any ideas anyone?

thanks,

Paul
