I have not dealt with classpath issues too much.

When you talk about "the root of the classpath" that is used to 
search for (for example) parameters supplied in rep/participants.xml, 

-- is this the same as the value of the CLASSPATH env.variable 
   when the servlet contsiner is started ?

-- is this the same as the value of the Java system property 
   that is available to programs at runtime ?

-- so, would it be possible to add additional directories to
   this classpath simply by adding some to CLASSPATH ? 

-- or, is this classpath something that is defined by and for Rife ? 


thx much
