As a basic rule of thumb, you shall _never_ add the servlet-api.jar or servlet.jar to the WEB-INF/lib folder (if that's what you are doing)
Consider reading this: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/appdev/deployment.html http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html If problems remains, consider then asking the right question to the appropiate forum. 2008/4/15, Peter Theissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi all, > > sorry to continue with that OT thread, but its starting to get > really mad out here.
