How to reference external libraries?

Hi Experts,

I am working with SAP Web AS 6.20 and have a question. I would like to be able to reference a library that is located outside of the Web AS installation directory from within an application.

For example, I have the libraries located in /home/arvind/lib/*.jar and I want that to be referenced from within a deployed J2EE application.

Is this possible at all? I have tried adding the class path to the system class path for the server but it does not work. I have also tried combination of having the class path plus the entries in the library.txt and reference.txt files and that does not work as well.

Would appricate any help with this...

Thanks,

Arvind
