    Proxy classes / NoClassDefFound

    timshaw

      JBoss 3.2 :

      Structure :

      cdm-ejb.jar (all EB classes)
      ca-app.war (all tomcat/struts classes - standard web-app)
      ca-ejb (one SB mapping between EB and struts classes - M->V)

      ca-ejb will not deploy/run. If I include the struts-based classes - also in ca-app.war - I get NoClassDefFound, if I don't I get ClassCastException. I can do anything I like between the first 2 - but as soon as I try to work with the SB using the struts classes it goes wonky!

      This is a class loader symptom, but I'm tearing my hair out here ... sugestions much appreciated :-)

      Thanks

          This is probably a Class.forName() problem.
          YOU HAVEN'T POSTED THE STACKTRACE!

          If a class outside the war does Class.forName() while invoked
          from the webapp it won't find classes in the war.

            Thanks for the reply. I've posted stack traces below.

            The problem is that I need to deploy a Session EJB that uses classes from my war file. I can't put the EJB jar (just) into the war file as I can't then deploy it (they're all in an ear, and I need to ref the jar file from application.xml).

            I've tried putting all the application classes into the EJB jar (as well as the war) but I get the same problem.

            I suppose the question is really - How can I deploy an EJB from within a war file? This is what I want to do, and it makes sense as the Session EJB is part of the (logical) web app.

            Thanks again

              Sort of answered my own question by adding all the struts jars to the Session EJB jar file. I guess the NoClassDefFound was generated as it couldn't find the super-class.

              Thanks for your time
