can not load class

[smilidon]

Hi,

I dont know where i should post it, i dont think it is a beginner question.

I have a servlet where i call some classes from a jar that is stored in jboss/server/lib. This jar contains also a class that loads another class with Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass("MyClass"). This always fails and i get the exception:

11:28:12,379 ERROR [[GenerateReport]] Servlet.service() for servlet GenerateReport threw exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/sf/jasperreports/engine/JRChartCustomizer
at java.lang.ClassLoader.findBootstrapClass(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.findBootstrapClass0(ClassLoader.java:727)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:284)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:282)

I tried to put the class in the webapp directory, in the classpath, and many more! Why this class is never found? im really frustrated...

Thanks

Have you tried putting the jar that contains the class also in lib?
