Hi, I'm unable to start Tomcat due to ClassNotFoundException. The classpath to bootstrap.jar and tools.jar is correct and defined. And the home directory too. All the jars are loaded, but still I get a classcastexception. Under what cirumstances could this occur? It there anything[system variables,classpath,etc] else that needs to be set? As seen below the classloader loads catalina.jar but throw an classnotfoundexception when its unable to locate org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener which i contained in that jar.
