(sending to the list this time as my previous reply only went to Pat...)

I've been using BeanShell inside WLS 8.1 for a few weeks now. I simply added 
the BeanShell initialization to my StartupServlet (for the particular webapp 
I want BeanShell to work with). This way BeanShell has access to the right 
ClassLoader and it works.

_please_ do not setContextClassLoader() unless you catch and handle the 
SecurityException appropriately. SecurityException is one of those things that 
must always be caught and handled or BeanShell will never work properly in a 
secure environment.
