Tomcat 4 server.xml bug

[Glenn Nielsen <gl...@voyager.apg.more.net>]

We are trying to implement a <Listener ... /> to be configured in
the Tomcat 4 server.xml within a <Context ... /> or <DefaultContext ... />.

When Tomcat starts up the Context and tries to add the Listener
Class a ClassNotFoundException is thrown for the org.apache.catalina.LifecycleListener 
interface which it has to implement in order to be a Listener.

Has anyone tried to implement and test a Listener recently in Tomcat 4?

org.apache.catalina.LifecycleListener is located in /server/lib/catalina.jar,
so the ClassLoader hierarchy is Server -> Common -> System -> Bootstrap.
I suspect the problem is that the code that tries to setup the Listener
is in the ClassLoader hierarchy Webapp -> Shared -> Common -> System -> Bootstrap.

Regards,

Glenn
