Problem with using bean in jsp in ear

[navneet]

Hi,

I am using a bean to handle the form data and so i use a usebean tag in jsp like below.
----------------------
<jsp:useBean id="formHandler" class="mobile.bean.FormBean" scope="request">
<jsp:setProperty name="formHandler" property="*"/>
</jsp:useBean>
---------------------

I have this FormBean class in package mobile.bean
When i create a war file and deploy it in JBoss3.0.0RC3-Jetty it works fine.The war file has the FormBean class.

However, when i put the war file and another jar file into an EAR file and deploy it, and when i submit my form i get an error, though i do not get any error at the time of deploy. I get the following error

11:15:45,062 WARN [Jetty] WARNING: Servlet Exception for /testapp/process.jsp
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: mobile/bean/FormBean

Can anyone please help. Am i doing anything wrong. I have been trying to fix it since 2 days but couldn't and the strange thing is when i deploy the war seperately it works fine.

I am not sure, you can check if the class is in Web-inf/classes after the server unpacks the ear file and put them in a dir in JBoss server.

I have checked the folder after it unpacks the ear and the WEB-INF/classes/mobile/bean/FormBean.class is there.

Check that your bean class file is not in both your war and jar, this will most likely cause your problem

Thanks joelvogt it helped..
Actually i was calling a servlet from the jsp page which somehow was also included in the jar file because of a typo in build.xml for ant and this servlet wasnt able to find the bean as the servlet in the jar was invoked.
