I don't have much to offer here. All of my components are in
packages. I rarely need to fully qualify the name (only when a class
with the same name resides in different packages). My suspicion
would lie in how the app is packaged for J2EE deployment and how that
interacts with resource location. On that subject I know nearly
nothing.
