Trouble finding optic.jar while looking up EJB in remote OC4J (OAS)

Question

I have a BPEL process that I am deploying to an embedded OC4j (lightweight) that is available with the default install of BPEL Process Mgr developer version using JDeveloper. In that BPEL process I have a BPEL-exec (java embeding) that tries to invoke an EJB running in a separate Oracle Application Server instance (in the same box).
My BPEL process is unable to find the optic.jar support classes that is needed for a client to lookup the remote EJB. It needs the opticexception classes etc..
My settings in the Java standalone program that is being invoked via bpel-exec include:
private String initialContextFactory = "com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory";
    //private String initialContextFactory = "com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory";
    private String providerUrl = "opmn:ormi://10.14.2.2:6003:home/Sanity";
    private String urlPkgPrefixes = "";
    private String mapEjbJndiName = "Redlands";
    public String getDefaultMapName() {
      try {
          Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
          env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, getInitialContextFactory());
          env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, getProviderUrl());
          if (getUrlPkgPrefixes() != null && !getUrlPkgPrefixes().equals(""))
              env.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, getUrlPkgPrefixes());
            env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,"admin");
            env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,"welcome");
            env.put("dedicated.connection", "true");   
context = new InitialContext(env);I even tried including all the needed jars in the BPEL-INF\lib directory, but still I see these messages in the BPEL console (unable to find the needed classes). How can I solve this?
Here is the error message I get:

Hi clemens,
thanks for responding.
As suggested by you I copied the files into applib directory of oc4j/j2ee/home. In addition, I verified the system classpath of BPEL (when it launches), It has the actual physical directory where optic.jar was located. It still fails!
Here are the files in the applib directory. These sames jars I even copied to my BPEL-INF directory and verified it is in the BPEL suitcase.
ejb.jar
javax77.jar
jms.jar
jmxri.jar
jndi.jar
oc4jclient.jar
optic.jar
readme.txt
servlet.jar
I still get this error:

Note:
I just wanted to let you know that the java application I am working with works fine in standalone mode. IT is able to lookup as long as these client dependant jars are in its classpath. The problem is that it fails when it is used part of bpelexec.
