Bug Description

Binary package hint: tomcat5.5

When deploying a war which uses Spring WS, the application will fail to work correctly, raising this error:
Class not found: org.springframework.xml.xpath.Jaxp13XPathExpressionFactory
I assume that other applications may also fail with similar class not found exceptions, too.
The jar that contains this class is in the war (the jar is spring-xml-1.0.2.jar).
After much web searching, I ran across this page: http://brian.pontarelli.com/2007/10/15/ubuntu-gusty-and-tomcat-55/ Following those directions, I deleted /usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/endorsed/*, restarted tomcat, and now the application works.

Stock Tomcat 5.5 does not include those the jars that Ubuntu does in its /usr/share/tomcat5.5/common/endorsed/ directory. Perhaps those jars should not be included in this package?

I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy, Tomcat 5.5, and JDK6.

Thanks!
