Vaughn,
In order for your SharedLib classes to be visible to your application,
the SharedLib module, whether Geronimo's or your own, must be declared
as a dependency for your web app. If you don't do this, you'll get
ClassNotFoundExceptions.
It's not clear from your responses that you are declaring these
dependencies in your geronimo deployment plans for your web apps.
Given your original SharedLib plan, a deployment plan like the
following should make your applib classes available to your application.
<web-app xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-2.0.1";
xmlns:sys="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.2

<sys:environment>

<sys:groupId>com.company.app</sys:groupId>
