WebappClassLoader does not load packages in javax.xml.*

           Summary: WebappClassLoader does not load packages in javax.xml.*
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.2 Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Webapps
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: lei@audiumcorp.com


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.
