CLASSPATH, Jar file or zip file visibility during compilation and run time

Question

I am using jwsdp-1_0_01 with some success.
However, making my *.jar or *.zip files
visible during ant builds is not working.
Setting a CLASSPATH environment
variable (BTW: I on a Linux box) seems
to have no effect. I'm using the ant build
machinery found the JWSDP download
jwsdp-1_0_01/docs/tutorial/examples/jaxrpc/
and as long as I don't reference anything in
mystuff.zip
compilation succeeds and tomcat is happy
to provide my service. How can I get ant
and tomcat to see 'mystuff.zip' or 'foo.jar'
or whatever.
Note: I was able to get past these problems
using jwsdp-1_0-ea1 but (sigh) nothing learned there
seems to help here.

Hi joe
I made changes to targets.xml (in jwsdp-1_0\docs\tutorial\examples\jaxrpc\common) to include my own jar files.
To enable Tomcat to see the jar files when I install the service, I copied them into jwsdp-1_0\common\lib.
Here is the modified targets.xml (from Windows):
<target name="compile-server" depends="prepare" description="Compiles the server-side source code">
<echo message="Compiling the server-side source code...." />
<javac srcdir="src" destdir="${build}/shared"
includes="net\agmodel\metsoap\*.java"
excludes="net\agmodel\metsoap\*Client.java"
classpath="C:/jwsdp-1_0/common/lib/genericbroker.jar:C:/jwsdp-1_0/common/lib/weatherdata.jar" />
</target>
<target name="compile-client" description="Compiles the client-side source code">
<echo message="Compiling the client source code...." />
<javac srcdir="src" destdir="${build}/client" classpath="${jwsdp-jars}:build/shared:build/client:C:\jwsdp-1_0\common\lib\genericbroker.jar:C:\jwsdp-1_0\common\lib\weatherdata.jar" includes="net/agmodel/metsoap/*Client.java" />
</target>
Hope this helps.
Good luck
