I think I know what this issue is, and there is a simple way to test.
If you copy the JAR for the nl/yenlo/yos4j/ into you lib instead of
including it in your EAR, you probably won't have this problem.

If this works, it means that nl/yenlo/yos4j/ is not in the classloader at
deploy even though it is in your EAR.

There was a similar issue with Vaadin

If you find the glassfish issue, please post.
