Thanks for the response. This however only partially addresses my problem. I understand that class loading is different in AS 7 what I cannot determine from the documentation is how to define a dependency in my .war to the classes in the .rar. I tried adding Class-Path: deployment.XYZ.rar to my .war's manifest file but that did not work. That only looks in the deployment (in my case my .war) for the dependency and it obviously does not find it. Any more pointers for me?
Thanks!
Earnie!
