ExceptionInInitializerError on WebParam

[Benson Margulies <bi...@gmail.com>]

I'm sending this message in case someone can point me at a doorway to summer.

Somehow, one of my co-workers has contrived to get Java to throw an
ExceptionInInitializerError when CXF/Aegis calls the class loader to
load up the Class object for java.jws.WebParam. I'm very much
perplexed as to how that annotation class could have an initializer
that could throw an exception!

Has anyone seen anything like this?

No idea.   WebParam itself is just an interface with no statics.   Thus, it 
doesn't even have an initializer.   WebParam$Mode is an enum which does have a 
static initializer, but it's very basic.   Basically just calls the 
Mode(String) constructor for the various modes and sets the values array for 
it.   Very standard enum stuff. 

Basically, I have NO idea. (unless you are on google app engine which 
disallows certain classes.   It blocking it MAY result in strange exceptions)
