[Jython-users] Jpython imports resolution

[Sarwar R. <raz...@ya...>]

Hello...
I'm hoping someone has run into this.
We have a bunch of third party jars that are required
for our application to function. We set our effective
classpath to a directory, and put all our jars in that
directory.

Here's what's happening:

our jpython scripts import classes from these
particular packages. for ex. foo.jar.

In our script, we import * from com.bar.foo
but the python interpreter cannot "find" the classes
in question, though they are in the classpath. The
only way we can make this work is to put these 
troublesome jars in /usr/java/JRE/lib/ext (or Program
Files\Javasoft\JRE\1.3\lib\ext), in which case it
resolves as needed.

We really do not want to have to put stuff in
JRE/lib/ext if we don't have to. We'd like to be able
to run by just pointing Classpath to a directory with
all the jars included.

I imagine this will probably have something to do with
changing the classpath that the jpython interp. refers
to before starting up, 'cos these will likely need to
be processed by the packagemanger on startup.

Can anyone help?
Thanks
Sarwar
