Problem !!! java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: [Ljava.lang.String

This, java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: [Ljava.lang.String is killing me a lot. I've suspected so many things about it, but actually is quite different. Its also mentioned in sun's bug database

Here are some of the solutions i've found in different sites;

1.http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6434149

This link recommends the following actions to solve this bug:

1) Add -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true if you want to use a
library for which you don't have the source with JDK6

2) Change loader.loadClass( name ) to Class.forName( name, false, loader ) if
you own the code.

class org.apache.catalina.loader.WebAppClassLoader
uses this code to load classes:

clazz = loader.loadClass(name);

Can you please change the sections of code where this line is used (1352 and
others) to
clazz =  Class.forName( name, false, loader);

• jdk1.6 unlike 1.5 it will not attempt to load class (java.lang.String) by name by default
• it is easily solvable by locating JVM runtime in Eclipse's preferences (Window->Preferences->Installed JREs), highlighting the entry and adding runtime parameter -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true
