Hi,
I'm using release 5.1.0 and I'm having this problem where I'm trying to use an exploded inplace war for web development. But when I do this I get an exception during deployment (but NOT with a hard war file.)

ERROR [[/portal]] Servlet /portal threw load() exception

I'm using maven to create the exploded war:
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true war:inplace
Another interesting thing is: the inplace war was working UNTIL I added the commons-validator dependency:
{noformat}
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-validator</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-validator</artifactId>
<version>1.3.0</version>
</dependency>
{noformat}
My project has many dependencies on both commons-logging 1.1.1 and log4j 1.2.14, however, I do not get this error without this dependency. Actually, it appears I also have a dependency on log4j 1.2.15 somewhere, but only 1.2.14 jar is put in my war.
So it must be some sort of classpath problem. Any idea what?
