Classloading issues with Oracle AS 10.1.3.3 and Content Services 10.1.2.3

Question

Hi,
Installed
Oracle Content Services 10.1.2.3 and Oracle AS (SOA Suite) 10.1.3.3.
Goal
Deploying custom webservices on the Oracle AS which invoke the Content Services webservices API. These custom webservices are invoked from ESB processes to upload content.
What does work
The pre-installed oc4j home of Oracle AS 10.1.3.3 has no pre-defined shared library for Oracle Content Services. So if we create a shared library containing the Oracle Content Services 10.1.2.3 jars (axis.jar, commons-discovery-0.2.jar, commons-logging-1.0.3.jar, content-ws-client.jar, http_client.jar and wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar) and include this shared library during deployment of our custom webservices, content is nicely uploaded without problems.
Problem
However, we created another oc4j instance (oc4j_services) on which these webservices should deployed and run instead of the oc4j home instance. This time Oracle AS already creates a pre-defined shared library for Content Services containing a 10.1.3 version. This library is not compatible with Content Services 10.1.2.3.
We tried to create another shared library with the same name (oracle.ifs.client) but another version number (10.1.2.3) and import it during deployment of our webservices (and exclude the 10.1.3 version), we also placed the Content Services 10.1.2.3 jars into the oc4j home applib and oc4j_services applib directory. Nonetheless, we either get a classnotfound or exceptioninitialization error.
Anyone has a solution to this?

The log file shows:
ERROR [AJPRequestHandler-RMICallHandler-6]: oracle.classloader.util.AnnotatedNoClassDefFoundError:
     Missing class: oracle.ifs.fdk.RemoteLoginManagerServiceLocator
     Dependent class: oracle.ifs.examples.ws.WsConnection
     Loader: FAC_WS_Content_Services.root:0.0.0
     Code-Source: /oracle/as_soa/j2ee/oc4j_services/applications/FAC_WS_Content_Services/FAC_WS_Content_Services.jar
     Configuration: <ejb> in /oracle/as_soa/j2ee/oc4j_services/applications/FAC_WS_Content_Services
The missing class is available from the following locations:
     1. Code-Source: /oracle/as_soa/j2ee/oc4j_services/shared-lib/oracle.ifs.client/10.1.2.3.0/content-ws-client.jar (from <code-source> in /oracle/as_soa/j2ee/oc4j_services/config/server.xml)
     This code-source is available in loader oracle.ifs.client:10.1.2.3.0. This shared-library can be imported by the "FAC_WS_Content_Services" application.
But, if I select the shared library in Oracle AS EM, it states that my application (FAC_WS_Content_Services) does import this shared library.
