Orion 0.9.4l does not load /WEB-INF/lib/*.jar files

[jeff . tuatini]

Hi,

This problem has been raised before in this interest group.  Is this a known
bug that has been reported or fixed in a later release ???  Is there a
work-around that I can use (apart from unpacking my jar files into
/WEB-INF/classes !)?  Note that I tried specifying the jar file in a
<classpath path="/WEB-INF/lib/utility.jar"/> element in orion-web.xml
without success.

Regards, Jeff

Deployed an EAR archive under Orion 0.9.4l.  It contains an EJB jar and a
WAR archive.  The WAR archive has servlets in the WEB-INF/classes tree that
use utility classes in a JAR file in the WEB-INF/lib directory.  When I
invoke these servlets I get:

500 Internal Server Error
