Hi, Jerry.
A few notes on this:
GlassFish makes the JARs in the glassfish/lib/... directories
automatically available only to server-side components, not to app
clients. That's why placing foo.jar there did not make it visible to
your app client.
To get your app client working I'd suggest this: Instead of deploying
your app client as a stand-alone app client (in its own module), package
it into an EAR and include foo.jar in the EAR's /lib directory. The app
client will still be launchable using Java Web Start but GlassFish will
automatically make any JAR in the EAR's library directory (/lib by
default) accessible to all modules in the EAR, including the app
client. It's an additional packaging step, true, but that one extra
step should get things working for you.
(If you wanted to you could package the app client and foo.jar into an
EAR and place foo.jar anywhere you wanted in the EAR. Then make sure the
app client JAR's manifest Class-Path refers to the correct location
within the EAR where foo.jar resides. It's a little simpler to just
place foo.jar in /lib and not have to worry about adjusting the app
client's manifest Class-Path.)
I hope that helps.

However I'm able to run the application from the command line using the appclient script included with glassfish: ( I had to export the APPCPATH variable so it references the jar file I needed)
