[jdom-interest] java.lang.IllegalAccessError

[Andres March]

With WebSphere the classloader is weird.  Most likely JDOM is getting loaded with a different classloader than your application.  This could be because you are putting jdom.jar in the AppServer/lib directory.  You should put all application specific jar in the lib directory in the .war file.  This is under WEB-INF.  I had this problem myself but I think it is more secure this way.  Using this application-specific lib directory is extremely important when using classes that websphere already has in its classpath, i.e. xerces.jar, etc...

Good luck.

In Java, any class in the same package can access a protected method. So
this call should be perfectly legit. No idea why it would complain. I assume
this is IBM's VM that it's running on - it's not a pre-release version or
anything is it?
