Description Lei Zhu 2002-02-25 16:50:05 UTC 
The method WebappClassLoader.validate blocks out the loading of any classes
belonging to javax.xml.* package in the webapps/lib and webapp/classes
directory.  This makes it impossible for a specific web application to use its
own XML classes.  Also, it makes it impossible for applications to do XSL
transformation using javax.xml.transform.* classes.  (We are using xalan for
this).  The work around would be putting the jar files in common/lib, but this
is not ideal and prevents each webapp from having its own XML handling classes.
