I feel like a broken record sometimes...
Apache JServ uses two class loaders to find classes:
#1. System classloader
#2. Adaptive classloader ( this is a custom classloader )
wrapper.classpath= is the systemclassloader
repositories= is the adaptive classloader
If a class in the repositories path does a Class.forName() for a class
that is in the System classloader, it will find it.
If a class in the wrapper.classpath does a Class.forName() for a class in
the repositories path, then it won't find it. Reason is simple, the System
classloader doesn't know anything about the custom class loaders. The
opposite is true though. Custom class loaders know about the system
classloader.
make sense?
So, your problem is where you have your files.
