java.lang.LinkageError when Running WAR file
Hello fellows,
I have a weird java.lang.Linkage exception when running a WebApp. I run JBoss 3.0 with Tomcat 4.0.1. The same WebApp runs fine on another AppServer, which runs Tomcat 3.2.3.
I looked around on this forum, on Tomcat and on theserverside.com, but I found nothing specific about my problem.
Here are some code snippets of my code.
I have an interface:
public interface MyInterface {
public void myMethod(String param);
}
I have a class that implements MyInterface:
public class MyClass implements MyInterface {
...
}
Both classes are stored in a first JAR file in
WEB-INF/lib on my web app.
I have a Struts ActionForm, where I do:
public class MyActionForm ... {
...
public void validate(...) {
MyClass myInstance = new MyClass();
myInstance.myMethod(param);
}
The ActionForm, and all Struts classes (other actions, forms, etc.) are in a second JAR file, also in WEB-INF/lib.
When calling myMethod(param), I get the LinkageError. Here is the exact message, with the real stack trace of my code. Validator.class is my interface, and "MyClass" is a validator implementation for a specific type (a String in this case).

I have the following jar files in WEB-INF/lib:
- myjar1.jar (which contains MyClass and MyInterface).
- myjar2.jar (which contains my Struts stuff)
- strutsExt.jar
- struts.jar
- log4j.jar
- gsutil.jar (home-made library).
- GLUE-STD.jar (Web service stuff).
Thank you in advance for your help!!!
