I think it's OK to put user data in the UserData subtree, even though it's
under QIBM.  I've never used the ext directory mechanism, though: I always
put drivers and other third-party jars in a directory of my own choosing and
make sure they're on the classpath at runtime.

The most common way is to set the CLASSPATH environment variable.  You can
do this in a couple of ways.  Since you're running your Java program from
CL, I'm assuming you are calling it with the native JAVA command.  In which
case the simplest way is probably to include an ADDENVVAR command in jour
CL, before the JAVA command.  You could also specify the classpath on the
relevant JAVA command parameter itself.

As I said above, as far as I know, UserData is for user data ;-)  Though how
that is defined, I don't know.

Cheers,
