I would first try to put the native library into your system folder (on Windows) or onto your PATH on Unix for experimentation. If it works, you have established that it is a path issue.

I would also check the docs of the servlet enginer you're using to see where you could add a configuration option for your java.library.path.

Good luck,

Alex

Your dll has to be available to the servlet engine, in a directory on its PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (I guess the latter is just for Unix though).
