Vincent,
Thanks once again for the quick response.
No luck with the WAR option. Have placed the classes as instructed in the
WAR Did not create any packages, so they are just in WEB-INF/classes.
What I did, however, was JAR the tester and tested classes and placed them
in {java root}/jre/lib/ext and it works! Somehow adding them manually to the
classpath doesn't work.
Thanks!! Hope others can learn from my experience. :)
