Weblogic 10 java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 110162

I was having a frustrating problem (see stack trace below) when deploying a spring-security enabled application on weblogic over the last couple of weeks, and was having extreme difficulties tracking down the issue.

My codebase is using jaxen (via spring-security-core), which caused "java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 110162" on weblogic deployment. Jaxen comes with a whole heap of transitive dependencies.

The solution for me was to exclude all jaxen transitive dependencies:
* dom4j.dom4j
* jdom.jdom
* xerces.xercesImpl
* xml-apis.xml-apis
* xom.xom

Hope this helps someone else in the world. It certainly frustrated me for a considerable amount of time.
