Yep, had the correct paths and it did not work but that was 3.0.2 and there were also issues finding jars in my WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib at that time. Checked, double checked and repackaged several times but those jars would only load if placed in [config]/lib or [config]/deploy. I will try that again in a more recent build based on your reported success with it.
