I had classpath issues as well. I use a homegrown script now:

-- obviously, that's a hack and a bad way to even write the script, but I thought I'd offer it anyway... the standalone SOLO compiler needs some ease-of-use tweaks, as I mention below.
Some of this is duplicated, but I'll say it again.
- the solo compiler does create standalone .swf files that you can click on and run.. or embed in other .html pages
- the edit / compile / test cycle is NOT nearly 5 minutes. it takes me about 10 seconds to compile a sizeable laszlo application on a 1.7Ghz laptop
- see http://rifers.org/blogs/gbevin/2005/10/11/ for Geert Bevin's recent presentation - save for minor RESTful problems, it's pretty good overview
- i've proposed that they improve the SOLO compilation / deployment in the next release so that there is a separate distribution for people who only want to create standalone .swf files - built using Ant or Maven, using a single .jar file with known public dependancies
- i'm using laszlo at a major biotech company for an internal LIMS system - RESTful interfaces on the server-side - and the users love it... meaning, this is not just for multi-media apps and eye candy- it's a RIA client - much easier to code than typical AJAX apps
- Laszlo apps can be integrated easily - and I mean easily - into an existing Struts, JSF, Maverick, Rife.. whatever... framework. My app is part of a larger Struts app on top of an Oracle Database.
- Some of my server-side RESTful api's use XML serialization (XStream or JOX) on top of Hibernate, and some GET's use Oracle's implementation of XSQL directly - performance and responsivness is FAST.
Of note in this space is that Flex 2.0 is on the horizon and the price is dropping to $1000 per developer... are it's extra features vs. laszlo worth the $$ .. i'd say for most people, probably not, but for some business users, it makes sense.
