This class (like all XSP-related classes) was modified to remove
dependencies on Java2. In particular, getParent() (Java2) has
been replaced by this.getClass().getClassLoader() (Jdk 1.1). XSP
was never meant to require Java2, so all early-development
dependencies were removed prior to releasing Cocoon 1.6.

Since this class was last modified on Jan-15 and Cocoon 1.6 was released
on Jan-18, I can only assume your Cocoon version is out date. You may
download the most recent Cocoon jar or check it out of the CVS.
