I agree. Unfortunately, IBM disagrees and our webapp relies on this API: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/forms/v3r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.help.forms.doc/API_Install_Guide/i_wfsa_g_unix_setting_the_environmental_variables.html For whatever reason, copying those JAR files to the WEB-INF/lib directory doesn't work. I am not much of a Java developer, and do not understand the intricacies of how this all should work, but the API throws a "failed to initialize" error at us if we don't have the environment set up as described in the above document. >> Can anybody assist? > > The proper thing to do is place whatever jars or classes the webapp needs > under its WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/classes directory, respectively.

Is there a workaround for ill-engineered applications such as this? Thanks for your help, Chuck!
