That could be a classloader problem. The following is true with TC 4, but I
didn't check with TC 3 :
Each webapp has a separate classloader, so there should be one domain for
each webapp. To solve this, try moving slide.jar (as well as the stores,
their dependencies, and the roles) to the shared classloader by putting it
in the "lib" directory.
