OC4J classpath and JAZN

Question

In my project we're using the DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule login module in order to store usernames and passwords to the database. I've created a customized SHA1 encoder that extends DBLoginModuleEncodingInterface for database password hashing. When I attempt to use the class I've created the embedded OC4J cannot find it.
The error message I'm seeing in log.xml is:
<MSG_TEXT>[DBTableOraDataSourceLoginModule]No class found for name mypackage.AESSHA1Encoder. Please check JAAS configuration option</MSG_TEXT>
This is the relevant portion of system-jazn-data.xml:
<option>
     <name>pw_encoding_class</name>
     <value>mypackage.AESSHA1Encoder</value>
</option>
I'm including my library in application.xml:
<library path="C:\jdevstudio10133_B\jdev\lib\AESSecurity.jar"/>
The contents of the jar are as follows:
C:\jdevstudio10133_B\jdev\lib>jar -tf AESSecurity.jar
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
mypackage/AESSHA1Encoder.class
I've sprinkled the jar file around various lib directories I've found under <JDEV_HOME>\j2ee\home and <JDEV_HOME>\jdev\system\oracle.j2ee.10.1.3.41.57 but I continue to get the same error.
How should I point OC4J to my custom encoding module?

Answer 1

Hi,
in my origin implementation of this LoginModule - before OC4J development put the code into their production line - I had the class within the same JAR file that stored the LoginModule. However, I always tested this with a stand alone OC4J instead of the embedded. In there I Used the lib directoy of the OC4J "home" (which would be a subdirectory of the JDeveloper home) when using the embedded OC4J stand alone.
The applications.xml would have
<library path="../../home/lib/my_jar.jar"/>
