Hi Earl, I'm not sure if we're talking about the same bug, although it's easily possible that it's the same bug, with differing consequences. I've made a little more progress on what is happening in jython when this problem occurs, namely a infinite recursion on method reflection. I'm guessing that this may be caused by a combination of classloading and security policies, not sure yet. More details from here http://bugs.jython.org/issue1489 Note from that bug that we've had a report from a user who saw identical behaviour when running a minimal jython servlet in BEA WebLogic on Ubuntu, whereas the Tomcat on Ubuntu runs the code just fine. So this is not a problem specific to Tomcat or to Tomcat on Windows. I'll be continuing my investigations and reports on the jython bug report. Please feel free to follow that discussion and/or contribute to it.
