tomcat one jar not found until restart

Hey All,

Get ready this ones crazy. So I am running an NSIS Installer which installs a program with three war files. Each of those war files containing a set of jars with my actual web application within. After the install most everything works all the web pages come up everything seems fine. In the background however, I have one of these three war files set up with a listener project. When I try to send XML to it it informs me that one of the jars it so desperatly desires is missing. This of course means other things are failing to function. I tried setting tomcat to restart right at the end of my install but it didn't fix the problem. However, I rebooted tomcat manually after the install and all of a sudden everything starts functioning XML starts functioning perfectly... Does anyone have any idea of whats going on or how to fix it? I have been on this a couple days now and its killing me.

Where exactly in the .war are those jars placed?

What kind of listener is this? Could you provide more details?

Can you please post the entire exception stacktrace? That might give us a hint on what's wrong.
