Sounds reasonable.

That's a good place to start. Pay special attention to this section:

Yeah, this is almost definintely a Tomcat question, not an OpenJPA
question (unless you want to ask if someone has ever done what you are
trying to do using Tomcat over on the other list... it couldn't hurt).

I think here's where you made your mistake. I would have expected Tomcat
to give you a NoClassDefFoundError or something similar because,
according to the documentation, your class should go here:
"
When you are through, place the factory class (and the corresponding
bean class) unpacked under $CATALINA_HOME/common/classes, or in a JAR
file inside $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. In this way, the required class
files are visible to both Catalina internal resources and your web
application.
"
Try moving your factory to Tomcat's common/lib directory to see if that
helps.
