Ahh, I see. I haven't touched any of the properties...though ANT
1.5.1(latest release) may alter the default environment.
Following is a sample ant target:
<target name="xyz" depends="init">
<java classname="com.iverticalleap.XYZ" fork="true"
newenvironment="true">
<jvmarg
value="-Djava.endorsed.dirs=${dir.lib}"/>
<arg value="/xyz.xml"/>
<classpath refid="cp"/>
</java>
</target>
Is this potentially an issue related to jdk 1.4+?

That implies to me that you don't have the configuration properties for
class loader selection correct. Making the change you propose would
destroy the ability to have commons-digester.jar in a parent class
loader,
but still be able to load classes from the child class loader (i.e. for
Tomcat, put commons-digester.jar in common/lib and try to load object
classes from your webapp.
What property settings are you using for the "classLoader" and
"useContextClassLoader" properties?
