I think so as well.


As far as I decyphered it till now, we don't need any CLASSPATH in the
environment or in the manifest.xmlBlaster. xmlBlaster would take the jars
or classes it find's in the path we tell it to look for.

So $XMLBLASTER_HOME/lib and $XMLBLASTER_HOME/classes would be a place to
have the core jar and classes.

$XMLBLASTER_HOME/lib/protocol/corba/xmlrpc could contain all special jar
for xmlrpc.

$XMLBLASTER_HOME/lib/protocol/persistence/xmldb/xindice could contain all
special jar for Xindice (openorb.jar in our case).

A disadvantage would be that their is no recursive search for jar or
classes since it would destroy our concept.

There might be some different solution as well, so please comment.
