Sorry, why did I write "client"? It was late, I should have slept
before posting. This happens in the service class. I have my own
utility class, which refers to ServicesUtil, and the service class
loads that utility class. The utility class can be loaded but not
ServicesUtil, which is odd since it *is* loaded in AbstractRPCService.
I have attached a minimal yet full example that can be deployed to
reproduce the problem (I have not attached the modified services.xml 
because the mods there are obvious); the service and client classes
are in the appropriate jars (I just rebuild using ant), TestUtil in 
its own jar under WEB-INF/lib. The bottom of the stack trace is

There is nothing special about ServicesUtil, btw: attempting to
instantiate, say, TempFileDataSource, causes the same error. The 
chain of references is net.sf.basedb.ws.server -> com.acme -> 
net.sf.basedb.ws.server. Does the detour through another package 
trigger some classloader complication?

Of course I studied the built-in examples first; I don't think I
could have so much as started otherwise. Still, I want to be able
to use custom classes on the server side. Why does (apparently)
everything have to be in the net.sf.basedb.ws.server package?

Thanks,
