My weblogic-application.xml is as follows:

<wls:prefer-application-packages>
<wls:package-name>com.ctc.wstx.*</wls:package-name>
<wls:package-name>javax.xml.*</wls:package-name>
<wls:package-name>org.apache.*</wls:package-name>
</wls:prefer-application-packages>

</wls:weblogic-application>

All help would be appreciated!
