Deployment problem with JBOSS 3.2.5

[bgarner]

Hello,

I am trying to deploy a small application that was created using the Sun ONE development tool. Everything works well in Sun ONE, and I had Sun ONE create the .war file. When I copy the .war file to the server/default/deploy directory in JBOSS, the deployment is successful. However when I try to run the application in my browser, I get the following error message:

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the web application. Please review the following stack trace for more information regarding the error.

Any idea on what could be causing this? I would assume that all my class libraries along with .JAR files that are needed are in the .WAR file, which means I shouldn't have to put them in the /lib directory?

Any advise is appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

While I was building testapplications which utilized JSF i've never came around to put jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar to /server/default/lib. For me after that step everything worked out and so i investigated no further why the jars in WEB-INF/lib weren't good enough.

Best regards

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError in a web container means that it is finding a older version of the class. Look for the class under different jars in locations like /lib which the container picks up well before your web app is touched.
