Ceki, Thank you for your response. As you said, WebSphere did have its own complex classloading mechanism up until 4.0.3. The WebSphere 4.0.3(which is the platform that I'm using now) has the standard J2EE classloading mechanism. I checked the menifest file but found that I made a typo in my email -- I did have lib/ as the entry in the manifest file(not /lib as I put in my email). The interesting thing is that when I deployed the application to the Single server edition of WebSphere(which should be exactly the same as the test envrionment within WSAD), everything works fine. So I'm thinking maybe there is something wrong with the test environment within WSAD.
