It was actually trying to tell me that my interceptor class wasn't deployed. :-)
It's referenced in an annotation.

Well, you're not showing the entire trace, but my guess is it won't get any better. :-)

Raise a Jira. I hate these kind of errors.

The only way to fix it would be to not use Class.getAnnotation{s}()
and instead do it ourselves with javassist.

I'm more inclined to raise it as a bug with Sun (need to test it
with the latest Java6). It should at least give some indication of the missing class. :-)
