My DataProcessorBean packaged in an ear file can't find a local class(JDomUtils) during runtime.

It compiles fine, it's accessible in my IDE, and I can see it also in the war file contained in the ear but getting this error.

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Lcom/app/util/xpath/JDomUtils;

Any suggestions?

DataProcessorBean.java

import com.app.util.xpath.JDomUtils;

public class DataProcessorBean implements SessionBean {

SessionContext sessionContext;

private JDomUtils domUtils;

JDomUtils.java

package com.app.util.xpath;

public class JDomUtils {

public JDomUtils() {

}

Found inside: app.war\WEB-INF\classes\com\app\util\xpath\JDomUtils
