java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for jars that are in the EarC

[yairogen]

Hi,

I get java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError even though my jars aer in the EAR under the EarContent folder and I checked them in the "" tab in my EJB project.

Can some one please help my only putting the jars explicitly in the deploy folder does JBoss find it?

I am using version: 4.2.3.

Please provide more details about your application packaging. Where are the jar files located in the EAR? Post the output of

jar -tf myApp.ear

where myApp.ear is the name of your EAR file.

Do you use an IDE for packaging/deploying the application?

While posting the logs or xml content or code, remember to wrap it in a code block using the Code button in the message editor window and please hit the Preview button to make sure your post is correctly formatted

Hi,

Thanks for your repy.

This is the output of the command:

I use eclipse 3.4 for the wrapping of the EAR. all the jars are located physically under a folder called EarContent.

Create a folder named "lib" at the EAR root and place these jars inside that lib folder:

myapp.ear
|
|--- META-INF
| |
| |--- application.xml
| |
| |--- [other appropriate files]
|
|--- lib
| |
| |--- *.jar (the utility jar files)
|

Thanks.

Looks like this solved the problem.
