Using Java Resources with Java Stored Procedures

Question

Hi folks,
Hope someone can help out with this one.
I have a java source file called PdfFormExtractor.sql. In that file I have a definition similar to.
CREATE OR REPLACE AND RESOLVE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "PdfFormExtractor" as
import com.adobe.pdf.FormDataFormat;
import com.adobe.pdf.FormType;
import com.adobe.pdf.PDFDocument;
import com.adobe.pdf.PDFFactory;
etc, etc.
};I have loaded a number of Java jar files into the DB with the following command:
   CALL loadjava -v -s -r -u db_user_name/db_password@SID -jarasresource name_of_jar_file.jarMy PdfFormExtractor class compiles with errors as it does not seem to detect the class files located in the jar files which located in the schema.
I have used the following query and determined that the JAR files are valid and present in the schema.
SELECT object_name, object_type, status, timestamp
  FROM user_objects
WHERE (object_name NOT LIKE 'SYS_%'
         AND object_name NOT LIKE 'CREATE$%'
         AND object_name NOT LIKE 'JAVA$%'
         AND object_name NOT LIKE 'LOADLOB%')
   AND object_type LIKE 'JAVA %'
ORDER BY object_type, object_name;One solution appears to be to omit the "-jarasresource". This appears to cause loadjava to unpack the jar files. Unfortunately this means that you must drop any java objects from the same path as which they were created. Ideally I'd like to just load the java files and leave them as resources.
My question then is how do I get my source code to recognize that the files are in the schema. I thought this would be picked up when I do @PdfFormExtractor.sql from a sqlplus prompt (assuming the jars have been loaded and unpacked in the schema)
because I specified RESOLVE in the source definition
If anyone has any ideas they are most welcome as I've been stuck on this for the past couple of hours.
Regards
Kris
