I found the cause of the problem: I had 2 versions of
the WSS4J jar, one under Axis's WEB-INF/lib and
another under my app's lib. The one that was being
loaded was the one under my app (which sort of makes
sense, now that I think about it). Unfortunately, my
app's classloader wasn't able to access classes under
Axis's lib directory (which also sort of makes sense).

What I did was to copy both my Merlin replacement jar
and the WSS4J jar under my app's WEB-INF/lib and now
things work OK. The upside would be to eventually have
different versions of Merlin for different apps, which
seems useful. Is there any downside to this that I'm
not seeing?

Thanks in advance,

Hernan
