Issue

• Our applications are packaging xml-apis.jar, and this is causing a class loader issue. We noticed that JBoss was not ignoring classes in the javax package, and it iss our understanding that Tomcat, Weblogic and Jetty ignore classes in this package when loading the application. Can we make JBoss do that same to ease migration?

• When we have xml-apis*.jar included in our war, we get a ClassCastException:

ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/testApp]] (main)

OR
