java.lang.ClassFormatError: Illegal Variable name ""
There seems to be a problem with the Tomcat 4.0.1 class loader. I have figured out how to get around it, but am posting it in case anyone else runs into it, or someone wants to fix it.
I have an application that works fine with Tomcat 3.2.x but when I ran it under 4.0.1 I would get a ClassFormatError (see below). I tried recompiling my jar file, putting it in all sorts of different directories, using class files instead of a jar, running with IBM Java 1.3 and Sun J2DSK 1.3.1 under Linux, and Sun J2SDK 1.3.1 on NT--no difference. The solution turned out to be to edit one of my methods so it did not return from the middle of a synchronized block (also see below).
I apologize for using bandwidth if this has been covered before.

I had to change this method:
private static HashMap statsTab = new HashMap();
public static CisMtStats getStats( String env ) {
synchronized( statsTab ) {
// Get the stats from the table for the environment:
CisMtStats stats = (CisMtStats) statsTab.get( env );
// No stats? Make some:
if( stats == null ) {
statsTab.put( env, stats = new CisMtStats() );
}
return stats;
}
}
to this:
public static CisMtStats getStats( String env ) {
CisMtStats stats;
synchronized( statsTab ) {
// Get the stats from the table for the environment:
stats = (CisMtStats) statsTab.get( env );
// No stats? Make some:
if( stats == null ) {
statsTab.put( env, stats = new CisMtStats() );
}
}
return stats;
}
I don't understand it, but there you are.
