Tom, I don't know anything about Catalyst, but my guess is that it puts your code into some autogenerated namespace, and that why you can't find your methods.
If you set the DEBUG Inline::Java option to 5, you should get a lot of output that should tell you where the methodds are being bound. If it's too cryptic, you can post it to this list and I'll look at it. If that's the case, you can look at the PACKAGE option that allows you to force where the code will be bound.
