• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Critical

Description

Classes in the classpath (/WEB_INF/lib/*.jar) do not seem to be loading in Tomcat 6. The same code runs fine in Tomcat 5.5.

Sample Error:
"
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet GroovyServlet threw exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class net.sf.json.JSONObject
"

(Included sample project for Groovy 1-7, with log files from Tomcat and Groovlet. Groovy 1-6 zip was too large, but similar errors.)
