Could not load extension class org.apache.cxf.ws.policy.AssertionBuilderRegistryImpl

[nareshcgi <na...@cgifederal.com>]

I'm running into a CXF problem that has been asked and answered many times,
but I've had no luck with any of the provided solutions.  Here is the
abridged stack trace (I can provided full stacks / logs if needed):

org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader initWebApplicationContext
Context initialization failed

I followed the information from CXF App Server-specific config, and the IBM
Thaker PDF, but to list a few specifically:
    - WebSphere's JAX-WS Engine has been disabed (tried first via JVM
properties, then through the WAR's manifest)
    - Set local classloader first (parent last) for the module
    - Included org.apache.servicemix.bundles.saaj-impl-1.3.18_1.jar

As a side note: there is another WAR module for my project that has the
exact same problem, but if it's wrapped in an EAR, everything works
perfectly.  Unfortunately, because of ANOTHER WebSphere-specific issue, we
cannot bundle the module in question in an EAR.

Do you have any thoughts on what could be preventing this from working when
deployed as a standalone WAR?
