--- Comment #5 from Brent Griffin <griffin.br...@gmail.com> --- I was having this same problem sporadically. Was hoping to find an answer here; however, I have been able to diagnose and fix my problem. Thought it might be good to post here in hopes of helping future people. My issue turned out to be that the operating system was running out of file handles. So, it was failing to load a class not because of a Tomcat bug but because it could not open up the class file. Increasing the file handle limits on my OS fixed my problem. i.e. http://tuxgen.blogspot.com/2014/01/centosrhel-ulimit-and-maximum-number-of.html -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
