You ever have one of those days .... well, I guess we all have.
My problem wasn't that my jars weren't being found --- it was that one config file had to be specified as lib/<file> instead of just <file> like my test code.
Sorry to have bothered everyone!

I have a JRuby 1.1RC2 application, with Rails 2.0.2, almost ready to deploy. I've built a war file with warbler. Configuration of warbler is very vanilla, as is my dev installation of tomcat.
The problem that I"m having is that the application relies on a set of jar files; all the required jar files are in lib (and so I've confirmed that they are packaged properly in WEB-INF/lib). Unfortunately, they don't appear to be being added to the classpath of the running webapp. An inspection of the property java.class.path shows only a few tomcat related jar files in the classpath; the library I'm using also fails miserably when it searches for resources amongst it's jar files.
In a standalone mode, with test code, everything works fine as long as I set CLASSPATH to contain all the relevant jar files. Without setting the classpath (despite any require or load statements I may have), the app fails miserably; the failure is the same as when running under tomcat.
Is there something I'm missing? Should the jars show up in the property java.class.path?
Thanks!
