Hi,
I have spend several hours trying to track down an intermittent problem with
Tomcat 4.1.27. I was getting NoClassDefFoundError and the stack trace
pointed to a class that clearly did exist in the same jar file as the
calling class.
I eventually tracked it down to this: If I start up Tomcat and then try to
load the page while tomcat is starting up, this error sometimes/usually
appears. If I wait until tomcat has quiesced and then load the page, I never
get the error.
I've recently upgraded from 4.1.18 to 4.1.27 and I'm sure the problem wasn't
there before. looks like a race condition in the Tomcat startup code.
