Hi Ben,
Thanks for the reply. I reviewed your post and the link you sent. I tried the following class loaders with the corresponding result:
Bootstrap (works)
System (Could not use because I'm starting from a .bat file)
Common (ClassNotFound)
Catalina (ClassNotFound)
Shared (ClassNotFound)
I'm wondering if this is a nuance in using java.util.logging. It appears to be started very early in the process and I'm wondering if it MUST be associated with the bootstrap class loader?
