WARs and ClassCastException redux...

Question

so i've been poring through messages in this newsgroup.. and i've
          noticed that many people have run into the ClassCastException problem
          with WARs that have servlets forwarding on to jsps using objects
          stuffed away in sessions..
          i've been trying to get my web application working as a WAR, but i've
          run into this very problem. (jsps try to retrieve object from session
          that was stored away by controlling servlet, but get a
          ClassCastException) is it true that, because weblogic uses different
          classloaders for servlets and jsps in a WAR, WARs are essentially
          worthless for my app? is there a solution to this? is bea addressing
          this too?
          thx

Answer 1

i read your solution on previous posts, and it works.. but is this the
          only solution? it seems odd that the classloading behavior would
          differ depending on whether you executed a JSP or servlet first. do
          you mean that i have to invoke JSPs controlled by all my servlets
          first? or just one of them, and the rest will behave accordingly?
          thx
