NoClassDefFoundError with tomcat 4.0.2

["Cole, Russ E" <Ru...@unisys.com>]

My webapp works fine with tomcat 4.0.1.  When using 4.0.2, I get an
exception when invoking my webapp:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/transform/TransformerException

If I copy xalan.jar from %catalina_home%\webapps\myapp\web-inf\lib to
%catalina_home%\lib, the problem no longer exists.

Why does tomcat 4.0.2 not use the classes in my webapp lib directory?

The tomcat log for deploying my webapp for 4.0.2 is identical to 4.0.1 and
it appears that xalan.jar is getting deployed:
2002-02-25 11:06:28 WebappLoader[/myapp]: Deploy JAR /WEB-INF/lib/xalan.jar
to C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2\webapps\myapp\WEB-INF\lib\xalan.jar

BTW, I am using jdk1.3.1_02.

It's a bug in 4.0.2.
