Java Class Path issues, need some clever ideas

[PaulStat]

Hi Guys,

A bit of background I am creating a new web service to be used in Axis2, all my required jars + config are contained in a Axis2 aar file. During testing I was receiving a NoSuchMethodError on a particular class, a class I knew had said method.

Anyway I eventually tracked down the issue to one of Axis2's own product jars, also containing said class, but the method had a different method signature. Now I know I can solve the issue by placing my jar in the axis2/WEB-INF/lib directory.

But the powers that be have said I'm not allowed to do this. So I'm a bit stumped on how else to solve the issue. Any suggestions?

For information it's using a class called java_cup.runtime.lr_parser, my code uses the class where the method signature is

public void parse()

And Axis2 version of the class uses

public Symbol parse()

I should also say refactoring my code to use the Axis2 method signature isn't an option.

Thanks,
Paul

Brilliantly simple solution in the end, as we had access to the java cup source code refactored our version in to a different package
