JBoss_4_0_4_GA and HttpServlet NoClassDefFoundError

[wauwau0977]

hi

i created the simplest servlet that you could imagine. it returns "ok" and is placed within a WAR file. by deploying it on my JBoss 4.0.4 GA i get a NoClassDefFoundError.

my installation is fresh installed by the wizard, by clicking on the option "EJB 3" support. everything else is standard.

if you want to verify, please download the very small WAR (click shift to safe):
http://www.x8ing.com/tmp/TestServlet.war

the servlet has been compiled with JDK 1.5 update 6. please also refer to the source of the servlet:
http://www.x8ing.com/tmp/TestServlet.java

finally i also uploaded the jboss-server log:
http://www.x8ing.com/tmp/TestServletLog.txt

can anybody reproduce that? or give me any hint?

regards,
patrick heusser

Which class is missing?

I got the following exception when trying to test my web service client.

[java] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xerces/xs/XSModel

If you got the same error about a class in the same package, you can copy $JBOSS_HOME/lib/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar into $JBOSS_HOME/client directory, bounce JBoss server, and re-test.

hi

the class which is not found is: HttpServlet which is definitly in the distribution contained in the file /server/lib/javax.servlet.jar

i made some further investigations using a plaine tomcat 5.5.17 installation. i deployed the war and it runs without any problems.

i ask myself: is there a problem with the jboss 4.0.4 GA release?

hi

i resolved the problem: the WAR works fine with the ZIP distribution of the 4.0.4.GA. that the installer must be the problem...

may be it's a feature, but for me it was not clear, that when installtion JBoss using the installer, it would not be possible to use servlets anymore...
