A ClassNotFoundException is not being thrown because the class being loaded is found in the JBoss classloader space, but that class has a static reference to the org/apache/cactus/ServletTestCase and this apparently is not in the JBoss classloader space and so a NoClassDefFoundError results during linking. Most likely there are duplicate jars in the classpath with inconsistent contents.
