This is why this happens, I figured it out, but I believe it is a bug.
if you add in "activation.jar" in the WEB-INF/lib directory. the files will
not get loaded properly by the AdaptiveClassLoader
hence, when you try to execute a servlet in that context the
AdaptiveClassLoader.repository variable is null.
since I was under the impression that you should be able to put any jar
files under WEB-INF/lib I would consider this a bug.
*I'm proud* I figured this out after f***ing around with the source code for
a while.
