@chuck and @martin You both helped me. Turns out that I could move all weblogic classes in WEB-INF/lib and out of the System classloader. But moving just weblogic.jar did not do the trick. I needed to package the following jars from the BEA distribution into the Webapp: weblogic.jar wljmxclient.jar wlclient.jar
