Thanks. However, I'm still not seeing the expected output, which is a 
list of files including the JAR:


[root at arrakis i386]# 
[root at arrakis i386]# rpm -q curl-java
curl-java-0.2.3.SVN-2.i386
[root at arrakis i386]# 
[root at arrakis i386]# rpm -qa curl-java*
[root at arrakis i386]# 
[root at arrakis i386]# rpm -qa curl-java/*
[root at arrakis i386]# 
[root at arrakis i386]# rpm -qa curl-java\*
curl-java-0.2.3.SVN-2.i386
[root at arrakis i386]# 




thanks,
