Classpath Setting Using only Folders

Is it possible to specify the directory path to a folder containing
multiple jar files and not have to specify the jar files directly? This is for calling Java stuff from within RPG on an i5 running jvm 1.5.

I have tried searching for good examples, but they all show specifying the
jar directly in the ClassPath. I have tested different scenarios and none
seem to work. The java guy here says that in the windows realm they do
something like: "C:\jardir\*;E:\morejars\*". Using '*' does not work on i5.

When dealing with something like JasperReports, specifying all the jars it
uses gets out of hand. I would rather just specify the folder containing
the jars.

Examples I have tried:
/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/JasperReports
/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/JasperReports/
/QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/JasperReports/*


Thanks,
Scott J
