NoClassDefFound in JSP
jboss version: 2.4.1
jdk version: 1.3.1
o/s: windows 2000
the following jsp page will compile properly
but i get a NoClassDefFoundError when it
is executed.
Under what conditions would this be possible...
The page is part of a .war archive
which is part of an .ear archive.
In other words, the internal jsp compiler knows
about the classes but somehow Tomcat does not?
Does this make sense? how do i resolve this issue.
Sounds like a jar file is not quite "everywhere it needs to be"??
below is the sample jsp page i wrote to
test this problem. the stacktrace follows.
**********************JSP Page*************************
<%@ page import="gov.ca.boe.wf.BaseActivity"%>
<%@ page import="gov.ca.boe.afsp.entirex.EfilingEntireXClient"%>
<%
EfilingEntireXClient eex;
BaseActivity base;
%>
<%
eex = new EfilingEntireXClient();
%>
******************* End of JSP Page***********************
if i comment out the third line of code...
eex = new EfilingEntireXClient()
then it does execute properly.
what does this indicate?
Here is the error i get saying
BaseActivity is not found...
