Thanks Jake. One question remains - if I reference the WebdavServlet within web.xml Tomcat seems able to find it ok in server/lib when I invoke the servlet. If I reference MyWebdavServlet within web.xml (and MyWebdavServlet extends WebdavServlet) Tomcat finds MyWebdavServlet but fails to find WebdavServlet (giving the ClassDefNotFound error). Is there something in the spec that the classloader can only load main classes and not classes that are used as a basis for these main classes (such as WebdavServlet)? cheers dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
