    ClassNotFoundException

    errorken

      Hello,

      I created a small war file wich contains these files:

      /logon.jsp
      /web-inf/classes/app/logonAction.class
      /web-inf/classes/app/logonForm.class
      /web-inf/classes/app/application.properties

      (the dtd and conf files in /web-inf and libraries in /lib)

      When I deploy my war everything seems ok. But if direct my browser to it I get an classnotfound error:

      14:53:40,218 INFO [Engine] action: Looking for Action instance for class app.LogonAction
      14:53:40,218 INFO [Engine] action: Double checking for Action instance already there
      14:53:40,218 INFO [Engine] action: Creating new Action instance
      14:53:40,218 ERROR [Engine] action: Error creating Action instance for path '/logon', class name 'app.LogonAction'
      java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: No ClassLoaders found for: app.LogonAction

      (I get the same for LogonForm)

      I dont seem why this isnt working. I'm using jboss3.0.4 with tomcat4.1.12 and struts 1.1.

      This is my struts-config file:


      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

      <!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
      "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.1//EN"
      "file:///C:/struts-config_1_1.dtd">





      <!--

      This is a blank Struts configuration file with an example

      welcome action/page and other commented sample elements.



      Tiles and the Struts Validator are configured using the factory defaults

      and are ready-to-use.



      NOTE: If you have a generator tool to create the corresponding Java classes

      for you, you could include the details in the "form-bean" declarations.

      Otherwise, you would only define the "form-bean" element itself, with the

      corresponding "name" and "type" attributes, as shown here.

          I had the same problem but I found the solution some messages further down. (The solution was posted by Petertje from the Netherlands).

          Instead of using
          (YourClass) Class.forName("yourClassName").newInstance();
          use
          (YourClass) Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass("yourClassName").newInstance();

          This gave me instant result!

          Hope this works for you too.
