It doesn't matter whether the plan is included in the app or supplied

I'm surprised you are seeing different results on "big" and "little"
geronimo. You should be getting the same classloader for your app in
either server. Would it be possible to share your app so we can take
a look at what is going on?
If I was writing an article on geronimo I would structure the project
so it consisted of one or more geronimo plugins and would show how to
construct a specialized server including those plugins. This is by
far easier if you are using maven, which I realize might not fit with
the requirements you are working under. There are some instructions
on how to do something similar here:
