different classloader behavior

[EJ Ciramella <ec...@archivas.com>]

I've written a custom SQLCondition and use it to monitor a particular  
field in a db.  This condition needs the postgres.jar in the  
classpath, so, on my local machine (an iMac), the target looks like  
this:

     <target name="testsql">
      <path id="classpath">
        <pathelement path="lib/postgresql.jar"/>
        <pathelement location="classes"/>
      </path>
     <typedef name="sqlcondition"  
classname="org.archivas.condition.SQLCondition"  
classpathref="classpath"/>
       <waitfor maxwait="25" maxwaitunit="minute" checkevery="10"  
checkeveryunit="second" timeoutproperty="toolong">
         <sqlcondition value="waiting for client connection"
                       connectionString="jdbc:postgresql://someurl/"
                       username="someuser"
                       password="somepass"
                       dbname="grind_web"
                       tablename="grinder_status"
                       hostname="lnx-072.archivas.com"/>
       </waitfor>
     </target>


This works just fine.

When I jar up my condition and place it in ant_home/lib, I made the  
following changes to the test build server (a slackware linux box):

     <path id="sqlclasspath">
       <pathelement path="/usr/local/pgsql/share/java/postgresql.jar"/>
     </path>
     <typedef name="sqlcondition"  
classname="org.archivas.condition.SQLCondition"  
classpathref="sqlclasspath"/>
       <waitfor maxwait="25" maxwaitunit="minute" checkevery="10"  
checkeveryunit="second" timeoutproperty="toolong">
         <sqlcondition value="waiting for client connection"
                       connectionString="jdbc:postgresql://someurl/"
                       username="someuser"
                       password="somepass"
                       dbname="grind_web"
                       tablename="grinder_status"
                       hostname="lnx-072.archivas.com"/>
       </waitfor>


But this fails:

What am I doing wrong?
