The class resolution sequence of WEB-INF/lib jars is not specified in
the servlet spec. One would expect it to be in the sequence given by the
call on the servlet context:
context.getResourcePaths("/WEB-INF/lib/");
but that is not guaranteed.
If it is necessary to discriminate between class versions, place a
different class static version field in each class and check that
field's value. In general, dependency on which version of a class is
loaded spells trouble.
