Weblogic - Why does deploying a new version of Joda-Time affect SAX parsing?

In my Java program, I'm using a method in joda-time-1.6.2. By default, WebLogic comes with joda.time_1.2.1.0.jar, which doesn't have the method I need.

So, I put the joda-time-1.6.2 jar file in WEB-INF/lib and modified the weblogic.xml file in my WEB-INF/ folder as follows:

<container-descriptor>     
<prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>   
</container-descriptor>

It works, but there is a side effect: I have another program that uses org.xml.sax for XML parsing and after the change shown above, the program that uses org.xml.sax generates the following error:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element type 'tag1' was not declared

tag1 is one of the tags in my XML file.

I can conclude that this happens because of the Joda-Time change shown above, because when I remove that change, XML processing works fine.

Why is that? How can I make sure both Joda-Time and SAX parsing work?
