Problem with libraries in jvm/lib/ext directory

Subject: Problem with libraries in jvm/lib/ext directory

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Domino Server

Technical Area: Application Development

Platform: Windows

Release: 8.5.1

Reproducible: Always

I've been trying to use Apache CXF when implementing a web service consumer, instead of the default axis ws stack in domino.
The problem is that domino loads the jar files from jvm/lib/ext before loading the jars in my script library.

The ext directory contains the file websvc.jar, which contains .class files for the package javax.wsdl. The problem is that CXF uses these classes, but requires a newer version of the classes in javax.wsdl.
In my script library I've added wsdl4j-1.6.2.jar, but the domino class loader still loads the wsdl classes from the ext directory (probably version 1.5.1 of wsdl4j).
When I run my agent i get the following error:

java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError
at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLServiceBuilder.copyExtensionAttributes(WSDLServiceBuilder.java:135)
at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLServiceBuilder.buildServices(WSDLServiceBuilder.java:275)
at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLServiceBuilder.buildServices(WSDLServiceBuilder.java:186)
at org.apache.cxf.wsdl11.WSDLServiceFactory.create(WSDLServiceFactory.java:120)

However, if I put wsdl4j-1.6.2.jar in the jvm/lib/ext directory, the correct version of the wsdl classes are loaded.
My question is, is it a way to force domino to first load the jars from my script library before loading the classes in the jvm/lib/ext directory? I'd prefer to keep my project specific jars in a script library instead of copy jar files to the jvm/lib/ext directory.

Any help would be very appreciated!
