Can you also include the dump of the thread that is holding the lock? In other words, what's the other half of the deadlock?

When we upgraded we noticed that tomcat 6 does not like if we have a xerces implementation in each webapp in the tomcat instance (tomcat 5 is fine with this), so we placed the following jars in a common tomcat library (catalina property "shared.loader"): - serializer-2.7.1.jar - xalan-2.7.1.jar - xercesImpl-2.9.1.jar - xmlParserAPIs-2.6.2.jar This worked well locally and in our staging environment, but when we upgraded our production environment, we started getting thread deadlocks, and the load reached 20 in "top". Normally with tomcat 5.5 the server runs with load 2-3. We tried downgrading to tomcat 6.0.26, and we tried having only one webapp in the tomcat instance, with the four XML jars in the webapp (WEB-INF/lib), not in the shared lib. Didn't work. When we downgraded to tomcat 5.5 again, everything was back to normal. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? Or is there a classloader bug in tomcat 6?
