After a clean server start and EAR deployment, when I request the servlet its get method call a delegate factory to get a delegate and then the delegate to get a service. The delegate object throws a ClassNotFoundException because No Classloaders Found For: class. The three classes are in the same package, which is named in the War's META-INF/MANIFEST.MF class-path.

The following is the message on the returned page:

HTTP Status 500 -

I am baffled, I have had ClassNotFoundExceptions due to classpath issues generally solved with the inclusion of the jars in the Manifest file. This is my first issue with a classloader not found. But to make matters worst, this code ran on JBoss 3.2.5 without this exception.

Any help would be appreciated.
