java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
Hi:
After wasting all day trying to find out what is going on, it is time to ask for help. The issue: I get java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError even when the jar file is in web-inf\lib directory.
I've got one web application called A.war that I want to deploy in jboss 3.2.6. I copy it to JBOSS_HOME\server\default\deploy and the unpacking process is successful. I type http://localhost:8080/A on the web explorer and start navigating through this webapp. The problem comes up when I generate a business action of my application; this action needs axis as a technological component. The class implementing that business action makes use of axis binding, so that in its internal process I get the error as shown below:
AxisFault

The quick answer: axis.jar is not on the web-inf\lib directory. It is there. I have also tried to leave it server\default\lib and it didn´t work either.
It is very strange. It looks like it doesn't exist. I have tried everything and cannot think of anything else. Can anybody give me a hand?
Thanks a lot,
Juan.
