Jaas classloading problems with web start

I am having trouble using Jaas with java web start. The javax.security.auth.Subject class fails to load, giving a ClassNotFoundError on the javax.security.auth.SubjectDomainCombiner class. This problem does not occur if the jaas classes are installed in the java extensions directory of the jre used by web start, but this breaks the easy deployment model. Also, even if it is installed, any custom javax.security.auth.Prinicpal classes can not be found unless it to is in the java extensions directory.

I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this problem, and had possibly found a work around?

Thanks,

Chris

I'm having the same exact problem. When I use the HTML archive tag to download jaas.jar, I get the same ClassNotFoundException. And when placing the jaas.jar in the client $JRE_HOME/lib/ext directory, it works fine. I was unable to find an elegant solution to this. Has anyone figure this one out?
