Synopsis: 
Inconsistent application class loading behaviour

Description:
This seems more like a servlet 2.2 spec design issue, but I post it here anyway.
When the classes are loaded from JARs residing in the {app}/WEB-INF/lib, different class loader then the application classloader (AdaptiveClassLoader) may be used, resulting in ClassNotFoundException thrown. This results in inconsistent application behaviour.

See "How To Reproduce" section for concrete example and details.
