Method Server / TBO Problem

The context is a 6.5 content server install. The exception is:

javax.servlet.ServletException: DfException:: THREAD: http-0.0.0.0-9080-1; MSG: [DM_DFC_E_CLASS_NOT_FOUND]error: "Unable to instantiate the necessary java class: com.nike.bnx.tbo.NikeTag"; ERRORCODE: 202; NEXT: null

This exception occurs when a custom workflow method is invoked that has TBO dependencies. I have tried putting the TBO implementation jars in the java_methods directory and that does not help. I've tried including the TBO implementation jars in the JBoss classpath explictly and this causes an entirely different set of problems.

I've opened a support ticket, but I thought I would also take the problem to the developer community. Does anyone have an idea as to what is causing this issue and how it might be addressed?

Thanks for your time and attention.

Can you clarify, if workflow is trying to invoke a custom method deployed as BOFModule

No, the custom method is not a BOF module, but it does utilize BOF modules to accomplish its task.

I have worked with the support team for several hours on this and the only thing that is clear right now is, that in this particular case, the deployment to the java_methods directory is not sufficient. We have got it to work by placing all dependencies in the $DOCUMENTUM/jboss4.2.0/server/DctmServer_MethodServer/deploy/bpm.ear/bpm.war/WEB-INF/lib directory. I don't know if this will be the final recommendation, but for now it is working at least.
