To run eXist in embedded mode, you need most of the jars from lib/core + 
exist.jar to be in the classpath, in particular: xmldb, antlr, xmlrpc, 
commons-pool, jakarta-oro, commons-resolver, log4j.

xmldb.jar contains the XMLDB interfaces, exist.jar the actual driver 
implementation.

If the class is loaded dynamically, it may use a different classloader 
(for example, if loaded via ClassLoader.loadClass). You probably have to 
check the code that does the loading.
