The problem has been around since we started deploying apps as servlets going back several years now. I think it might have something to do with this snippet I found in the Tomcat docs ( http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html)
... For some classes (such as the XML parser components in J2SE 1.4+), the J2SE 1.4 endorsed feature can be used (see the common classloader definition above). Last, any JAR containing servlet API classes will be ignored by the classloader. ... The javaxml framework contains javax.servlet.http.* classes. I suspect that in a servlet deployment this is causing the javaxml framework to be ignored. These classes are probably needed when running as a regular WOA application in JavaMonitor if you are using the built in web services functionality. I am going to try removing them today and see if that helps hopefully the house of cards wont fall down.
