Where should jacob.jar go on the client?

user485425Sep 12 2013 — edited Sep 12 2013

Does anybody know where jacob.jar should go on the client?  I have tried copying jacob.jar to various lib directories of several Java installations in C:\Program Files\Java and C:\Program Files (x86)\Java but the NoClassDefFoundError is not going away.

The background is, of course, that WebUtil doesn't seem to work and gives these error messages in the Java Console:

Exception in thread "thread applet-oracle.forms.engine.Main-1" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/jacob/com/ComFailException

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.jacob.com.ComFailException

As com.jacob.com.ComFailException is in jacob.jar, which I have installed on the server, it would appear that the automatic download does not work for some reason, so I figured I'd go ahead and install jacob.jar on the client myself.  But that does not seem to help either.

This is Forms 11.1.2.1.0 on Solaris 10 in a VMware virtual machine running on Windows 7, the Windows machine also serves as the client (running Internet Explorer 10).
