Hi, it looks as if class
javax/xml/rpc/Service was as well found in common/lib as in the WEB-INF/lib folder of your webapp. If the webapp classloader looks for this class, it will first look in webapps private resources. However, the class had been loaded and resolved before via the common classloader when some other class had referred to it. If javax/xml/rpc/Service would not be accessible via the webapp's private resources, the webapp classloader would delegate the task of loading the class to it's parent classloader, an then no conflict would arise. You should take care to have classes located *either* in the common classpath *or* in the webapp classpath, but not in both of them.
