Tomcat fails to load a JSP page or servlet which refers to classes from xml- apis.jar located in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the webapp. Error message: javax.servlet.ServletException: javax/xml/transform/URIResolver ... root cause java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/transform/URIResolver ... (see full stack trace in attachment) This is the contents of a sample webapp that produces the problem: webapps\ test\ index.jsp (see attachment) WEB-INF\ lib\ xalan.jar (version 2.2.D13) xerces.jar (version 1.4.4) xml-apis.jar (from xalan dist) Running such an webapp in Tomcat 3.3 does not cause any problems. Although putting xalan.jar and xml-apis.jar into the common/lib directory solves the problem, this is very inconvenient because the webapp(.war) should be self-contained.
