How does JRuby resolve gem paths in a jar file?

Question

I've packaged a custom gem into a jar file which is being referenced by a JRuby script.

I'm getting the following error:

org.jruby.rack.RackInitializationException: JAR entry gems/sinatra-linkedin-auth-0.0.1-java/lib/sinatra/linkedin-auth.rb not found in /Users/bhaidri/code/nextgen-ui/dist/darwin-war/exploded-war/WEB-INF/lib/linkedin-gems-0.0.1.jar

When I inspect my jar file, the linkedin-auth.rb script is indeed there in the correct location. Why is it not being correctly loaded?

Thanks, Baq

If anybody runs into this situation, please try restarting Tomcat. That resolved the problem for me.
