I was able to resolve this, and the new wiki helped, but it was Chris Mean's message
http://archives.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listId=21&msgNo=4975 that opened my eyes. I was just adding my custom jar files to the apps/james.sar file using winzip. Winzip was storing the files without a path, so when they were extracted they were not in the sar-inf/lib directory. The new wiki entry is much better than the previous version, but I think it could make it a little clearer that custom jar files need to be added so that when they are extracted they end up in james/sar-inf/lib. I'm sure if I were more familiar with the internals of James it would make more sense. Thanks for your help. Now I can move forward with replacing our James 1.2 server (don't laugh... it works!) -Brian -----Original Message----- From: Noel J.
