[SOLVED] ClassNotFoundException = j2ee library

Question

hello community,
I have got a problem with an unresolved j2ee library.
the libraries are placed in a directory somewhere on the harddisk and i do not know how to reference them in the weblogic server (v10).
I guess that they need an entry in the deployment descriptors of the application designed to deploy.
Is there a option like a tag in the application-deployment-descriptor of the application where i can reference the directory with the libraries? Or do i have to make an entry for each library the application needs?
Thanks,
maik
#edit 1:
Can i specify a directory in the weblogic server deployment descriptor to search for the libraries?
such as:
<library-dir>{$app.home}/lib</library-dir>{$app.home} is a java option i've added in the start-script of the server (-Dapp.home=c:\app)
#edit 2:
or do I have to place the libraries needed under the WEB-INF of META-INF directory in the lib-directory of the application?
#edit 3:
I've found out that there is an extra server-start option -Dweblogic.ext.dirs for specifying other library-directories... but this does not work at all :-(
when copying the needed libraries to the lib directory of the weblogic domain the class bytes found but defineClass()failed for: error occurs.
are there any suggestions for solving?

ok, i've solved it...
i just have added following environment variable to the start-script of the server:
WEBLOGIC_EXTENSION_DIRS=<directories>
