Re: Filter class not found problem (looks like a possible Tomcat bug)

["Frank W. Zammetti" <fz...@omnytex.com>]

I've managed to narrow this problem down quite a bit, and long and short 
of it is that the problem is specific to 6.0.10.

I tried a number of versions in the 6.x branch including 6.0.0, 6.0.4, 
6.0.8 and 6.0.9, and in all of them my webapp starts up just fine, no 
complaints about the Filter class, things work as expected.

In 6.0.10 however, I get the complaint about the Filter class not found. 
  I even went and re-downloaded the 6.0.10 bundle (just the plain zip 
version, not the installer) and the problem was present immediately 
after unzipping and copying my webapp over.

Now, this of course may not be a bug... maybe there's simply something 
about 6.0.10 I don't know that I need to do, in fact I'm hoping and even 
expecting that to be the case, but it's certainly a possible bug too... 
can anyone think of anything that would tell us one way or another?  Thanks!
