Spatial -- Eclipselink -- Production JDeveloper cannot find JGeometry

Question

We've developed an application using the Eclipselink spatial extensions developed by Doug Clarke's team and we're in the process of porting our applications to the Production JDeveloper release, WebLogic, and Eclipselink. We're failing when we add the first
@StructConverter(name = "JGeometry", converter = "org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database.oracle.converters.JGeometryConverter") to a bean.with the following error message when we create the first EntityManager.
]] Root cause of ServletException.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/spatial/geometry/JGeometry
     at org.eclipse.persistence.platform.database.oracle.converters.JGeometryConverter.<clinit>(JGeometryConverter.java:33)
     at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)

     at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.metadata.MetadataHelper.getClassForName(MetadataHelper.java:52)
     Truncated. see log file for complete stacktrace sdoapi.jar is in the applications WEB-INF/lib/ folder but I assume that this is the same problem that we had using OC4J that was cured by copying sdoapi.jar into the %JDEV_HOME%\lib\java\shared\oracle.toplink.ojdbc\11.1.1.0.0\ folder.
What is the analogous folder in the Production JDeveloper?

Michael:
Still not working. There must be something in your configuration that is finding the sdoapi.jar that is not in mine.
The following is what I have set up now and I'm still getting the classNotFound exception
I copied the sdoapi.jar file to these locations
C:\oracle\Middleware>dir/s sdoapi.jar
Directory of C:\oracle\Middleware\jdeveloper\modules
09/07/2007  11:18 AM           108,281 sdoapi.jar

09/07/2007  11:18 AM           108,281 sdoapi.jar
               1 File(s)        108,281 bytesStill didn't work so then I set SPATIAL_LIB and WEBLOGIC_HOME in my environment variables and rebooted
C:\>set
SPATIAL_LIB=C:\oracle\Middleware\jdeveloper\modules\oracle.toplink_11.1.1\sdoapi.jar
WEBLOGIC_HOME=C:\oracle\Middleware\
... in addition to all my other environment variables
C:\>cd %WEBLOGIC_HOME%
C:\oracle\Middleware>
C:\oracle\Middleware>dir %SPATIAL_LIB%
Directory of C:\oracle\Middleware\jdeveloper\modules\oracle.toplink_11.1.1
09/07/2007  11:18 AM           108,281 sdoapi.jar
               1 File(s)        108,281 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  100,777,361,408 bytes freeand Finally I tried specifying SPATIAL_LIB and WEBLOGIC_HOME in the .product.properites files
SPATIAL_LIB=C\:\\oracle\\Middleware\\jdeveloper\\modules\\oracle.toplink_11.1.1\\sdoapi.jar
WEBLOGIC_HOME=C\:\\oracle\\Middleware\\I did this in the product.properties files found in %WEBLOGIC_HOME%\jdeveloper and %WEBLOGIC_HOME%\wlserver_10.3
I did all of this incrementally stopping the WLS and shutting down JDeveloper between each trial.
And I'm still getting

Thanks for your help. Mark
