hmmm taking your advice and moving the JAR to the root of the EAR and updating the manifest class-path accordingly fixed the problem. So this got me thinking and I tried it again, using a dot in front of the path (./lib/ MyServeltJAR.jar) and it worked ok, this was a difficult one to spot!

I've done this but the utility jar was in the root of the EAR. I would suggest putting the utility jar in the root of the EAR file and then refer to it in the WAR files manifest using the jar files name (without any directory slashes).
