I recently had a similar problem with the JavaMail APIs and a custom pop3
provider which would not load wherever I moved the classes (mine were
jarred, but that should not make the difference). It turned out that in
order to get loaded these classes had to be in orions "master classpath". I
ended up with the following alternatives to achieve this:
- copy all mail + provider jars into <java_home>/jre/lib/ext (which you will
normally only do with standard java extension APIs)
- invoke orion via "java -classpath<all jars including mine>
<orion-launcher-class>" instead of java -jar orion.jar
- modify orion.jars manifest file to include my jars (a hack, but I did it)
now, I cannot exactly explain why this is so (and I think it is weird. I
would rather have all my application jars in WEB-INF/lib, and with most this
does indeed work fine), since I am not a classloader guru. Supposedly there
is logic in this, and it is really simple and informative to figure out.
However, I have so many things to figure out that more directly pertain to
my livelihood...
