java api+tomcat: HttpsURLConnectionOldImpl cannot be cast to HttpsURLConnection
When using the client API on a web app under tomcat, it would seem that all client requests I've tried so far give me this error:
com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionOldImpl cannot be cast to javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection
For example:
using a string token created from the control panel for access:
config=new DBXRequestConfig("Jamz","en_US");
client= new DBXClient(config,"token");
client.getMetadataWithChildren("/");
Then boom. Exception. Anybody seen anything like this? I feel like I need to rebuild the api with options to match tomcat, but I'm a little out of my league here. Any advice?

Hi Nicole, we came across this looking into this for you:

It looks like you might be including an old or obsolete JAR in your deployment, and classes in that JAR are somehow conflicting with the newer/correct version of the classes.
