I'm not sure I know exactly what a bootstrp class is.

I do know that when using EAServer with Java 1.2, that you need to set
BOOTCLASSPATH instead of CLASSPATH for your classes to be found.  Maybe it's
because you can have an individual CLASSPATH for each component, and the
BOOTCLASSPATH acts as a global one.  However, this sounds more like an EJB
issue than a Java 1.2 issue.
