I'm using Tomcat 5, which comes with R.I. (and croaks if you remove
it).  The classloaders see some R.I. classes first (probably because
Tomcat has already accessed some, because otherwise the war-bundled
libraries should be accessed first).  That's why I need some way to
tell it to use mx4j.

That's probably exactly what I need.  I couldn't find that in
docs.  I should get around to testing that in a couple hours.

No.  I can't open it up to the public because nothing is under
a security manager yet (that's the next step).  If your
suggestion above doesn't fix things, maybe I could get your IP
addr or password protect the site and give you an account.
