This has nothing to do with serialization; no serialization is occuring - only references to objects are stored here. > Sure the producer (bind) and the consumer (lookup) will > use the same interface, but the producer doesn't have to > care about the classes used "behind" that interface, The producer and consumer most definitely *DO* have to care about the classes used. The same class loaded by the same classloader must be visible to both webapps. Consequently, that class will have to reside in shared/lib, common/lib, or be one supplied by the JRE. Classes inside WEB-INF/lib are only visible to that particular webapp, even if they have the same name as a class used in another webapp. Read the classloader doc: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
