I ran into a funky problem using the shale-tiger library with embedded
OC4J 10.1.3.1.1. The class loader doesn't like paths that start with the
forward slash. It took me some work to find the problem since the container
eats the exception raised in the servlet context listener. The first
exception is raised when trying to scan the web classes "/WEB-INF/lib/". I
found a workaround by specifying the package(s) to scan using the context
param in the web.xml.
<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.shale.tiger.SCAN_PACKAGES</param-name>
<param-value>us/co/cde/ccat/view/backing</param-value>
</context-param>
Notice that my package doesn't start with a forward slash. For some
reason the starting forward slash throws off the class loader? Is this an
older spec thing or just a bug?
Hmm ... that seems odd.
There is a very annoying inconsistency between Class.getResource() and
ClassLoader.getResource() ... the former wants a leading slash, but the
latter does not. ServletContext.getResource() does want a slash ... so
maybe it has something to do with using the wrong getResource() call
somewhere? Will need to look.

Oh well, thankfully I found a simple workaround and the tiger library
coupled with the view library seems to work with the ADF Faces
Components. Although I've found them inferior to Trinidad ;-)
