I hope my subject line is close enough.  Assume a JSP file that calls a
static function "A" on some class.  "A" then goes down the stack
looking for what class called it.  It then tries to get a Class object
for that class with forName.

It works when the function is called from a class I create outside of
the JSP.  But when called from inside a JSP scriptlet, the className it
finds on the stack is one (I assume is) genated by the compile from JSP
into a Java class file, and it does not find that one.  I get the
ClassNotFound exception.

So I guess that means the class loader can't find it, so I would then
guess that there is more than one class loader and I'm not using the
right one in a call to forName.  Am I on the right track here?

I'm using Tomcat 5.5.7.
