Hi Chris, This is shot in dark so I am not sure if this will work but worth trying.
Instead of manually placing jar in lib directory, go to CF Administatrator, go to Java and JVM, and add the absolute path to the .jar. Restart CF and see what happens. Either way, do the same steps, and this time place .class files and restart and see what happens. Keep us updated.

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
