I've tried this in every combination of .war and .ear files now for the last two days and I'm at wits end. Here's the structure of my .ear file (currently): META-INF/application.xml META-INF/MANIFEST.MF testwar.war TelnetCallEnterpriseBean.jar TelnetConnectionEnterpriseBean.jar The structure of testwar.war is: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF WEB-INF/classes WEB-INF/lib WEB-INF/web.xml index.html patronperson.jsp When I surf to //localhost:8080/patronpersonal it brings up my index.html page. This page has a button on it that directs to the patronperson.jsp page. As that page gets compiled and executes, I get a noClassDefFound exception for the "TelnetConnectionHome" class. That class is in the .jar file at the root of my .ear file and is referenced in the MANIFEST file in the .war file (Class-Path: .\TelnetConnectionEnterpriseBean.jar). #1 - I never see the "Added .\TelnetConnectionEnterpriseBean.jar to common class-path" msg when the .war file is deployed (like the tomcat-test.ear example) - which I've set up my directory structure like the test. Why doesn't that ever show up? In looking at the source code, it wouldn't show it if a) it didn't read my manifest file correctly or b) it didn't parse the manifest file correctly and the class-path variable (cp) is null. #2 - Why can't the jsp servlet find that home interface class?? At this point in the code, it is attempting to do a Context.lookup on the home interface for the bean I need - and I know I have a good Context. I've seen the recent posts about crossing the module boundaries and making sure the common classloader has everything it needs, but I'm not passing any parameters that aren't serializable and I believe I've done everything I need to for it to find it. Aaaaaaaaaaarrrgh!! #3 - Does the latest source from the CVS repository work with Tomcat embedded? If so, how do you get it set up? I tried and failed. Worked fine as "default", but when I started uncommenting things in the config files, it died. Thanks for any help and pointers. Maybe I'm just packaging things wrong.
