      JIRA will not work on JBoss 4.0.0. It dies on startup with this error:

      2005-10-18 15:32:54,466 DEBUG [tomcat.localhost./jira.Context]  Starting filter 'UrlRewriteFilter'
2005-10-18 15:32:54,716 ERROR [org.apache.commons.digester.Digester] Begin event threw exception

      Evidently the JBoss copy of Commons Digester is being used in preference to JIRA's (in violation of the servlet spec) and so Digester cannot see the org.tuckey.* classes in JIRA.

      This is fixed in JBoss 4.0.1 and above, where JBoss switched to a saner classloading model.
