I saw that line too, but would never have guessed that getClassLoader()
returnes null(don't know much about classloaders). I'm trying to load a
ConnectionPool in Tomcat-5.0.28 and had my pg.jar in
$TOMCAT_HOME/common/endorsed/, when I moved it to $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib/ it
works ok. It used to work in common/endorsed with previous releases(including
8.0.beta4 which is the last one I tried before 8.0 final).

Anyway, the problem is now gone, thanks!
