classpath conflict from axis2 to websphere

[peter doyle]

i have a pojo class in an .aar file deployed as a web-service in axis2 (1.2), running on tomcat (5.5.20)

to look up an ejb in ibm websphere (6.1) the class attempts the following ...

Hashtable<String, String> env = new Hashtable<String, String>();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "iiop://host :-P	 ort");
jndiContext = new InitialContext(env);

... which compiles cleanly, but fails at runtime with a ClassNotFoundException for com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory

adding the com.ibm.ws.runtime_6.1.0.jar (which contains the missing class) to the axis2/WEB-INF/lib directory causes a conflict between two versions of javax.wsdl.Operation - the new version in axis2/WEB-INF/lib/wsdl4j-1/6/2.jar, and the old inside com.ibm.ws.runtime_6.1.0.jar

i tried adding the ibm jar file into the .aar file at the root, and inside a /lib directory - both resulting in the same ClassNotFoundException as above

thanks in advance for any help

peter.
