Hi David,
thank you very much for the time you took to answer this
do you (or anybody in the mail-list) think there's a way to solve this problem?
a solution is the one I've mentioned before: unpacking the jar classes and add 
them to the /WEB-INF/classes directory, and there is no problem when loading 
classes, but do you think there might be another solution, without unpacking 
jars??
thanks again.

Jose Maria.
