AppServer: again problem with DB configurations

Question

I have successfully configured a pooled Oracle data source and had it run, but I'm
having problems establishing an XA Oracle connection. (Using admin console)
The pooled source used the parameters:
-- Datasource-classname oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource
-- Resource type javax.sql.DataSource
-- Pool settings - all as per defaults
-- Connection-validation etc - as per defaults
-- Transaction isolation - changed to "default for driver" (i.e. blank)
-- Properties - user, password, and url
it works;
the XA connection I tried configuring as:
-- Datasource-classname oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource
-- Resource type javax.sql.XADataSource
-- the rest of parameters as for the pool connection
When I try to test the connection via "Ping" (in admin console) I get an error
with the server log recording:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource
     at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:199)
Since both the oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource and oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource
classes are in the same ojdbc14.jar file this seems very odd.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

i just tested this and it works fine for me. Here are the properties that are set (from domain.xml):
<jdbc-connection-pool connection-validation-method="auto-commit" datasource-classname="oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource" fail-all-connections="false" idle-timeout-in-seconds="300" is-connection-validation-required="false" is-isolation-level-guaranteed="false" max-pool-size="32" max-wait-time-in-millis="60000" name="cts-oracle-xa-pool" pool-resize-quantity="2" res-type="javax.sql.XADataSource" steady-pool-size="8">
<property name="Password" value="cts1"/>
<property name="URL" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@jsesun11:1521:cts1"/>
<property name="User" value="cts1"/>
</jdbc-connection-pool>
