Configuration problem with *.class file

[oneworld95]

Hi. I've got a Java bean class that I use for validation (it implements javax.faces.validator.Validator). It resides in the same package as the classes marked with the @Name or @Local annotations. However, Seam doesn't like this validation class and throws a no class definition found exception.

However, if I manually copy the compiled .class file to the package folder where the source files are on JBoss, it runs without any issues. Someone suggested this is a configuration problem.

What am I doing wrong? Anyone seen this kind of behavior?

Is it Seam or JSF that is complaining?  What is your packaging like?  UI classes usually need to be in the WAR and not in the EAR.
