I found the cause of the problem: I had 2 versions of the WSS4J jar, one under Axis's WEB-INF/lib and another under my app's lib. The one that was being loaded was the one under my app (which sort of makes sense, now that I think about it). Unfortunately, my app's classloader wasn't able to access classes under Axis's lib directory (which also sort of makes sense).
What I did was to copy both my Merlin replacement jar and the WSS4J jar under my app's WEB-INF/lib and now things work OK. The upside would be to eventually have different versions of Merlin for different apps, which seems useful. Is there any downside to this that I'm not seeing?
