------ art_144788_21334752.1182436092231 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline The new_script.rb is saved in my home directory, however the mynewclass.rbfile is saved in the site_ruby directory that is recommended for placing end user created modules and extensions to ruby. I dont' have a problem with new_script.rb being able to load mynewclass.rb. The problem is that inside of mynewclass.rb it also requires a few ruby gems, and those ruby gems are what I am getting load errors for. The gems and mynewclass.rb are both in directories included in the default ruby load path, which is why I am quite confused at the errors generated. Sorry, I wish I could help, but I have never coded in Java! I have some limited knowledge of web apps implemented in Java and I believe you have to download the required libraries, place them in a lib directory, and then some how you should be able to create a configuration file that points to the libraries. Have only seen implementations for servlet and jsp code though, so I'm not sure how that all works with a normal Java application.
