If you are then you shouldn't be. I don't, CLASSPATH is unset. I am pretty sure now, that the problem is the JAR file as created by the Ant task of the project's build.xml. If I just zip the classes manually, and use that instead of the JAR file, everything works just fine. I will now check the JAR task, update Ant, build on another machine and so on to see if that makes any differences.

Re: Funny JAR file, WAS: Class.forName() gives NoClassDefFoundError
Just want to follow up on this. Originally, the classes under /WEB-INF/classes were in a JAR file, which I put in /WEB-INF/lib, but like this I always got NoClassDefFoundError. So I thought there may be something wrong with the JAR file. I then zipped the classes manually and replaced the JAR file with that. And see there: No more NoClassDefFoundErrors. The application JAR is, like the WAR file, created by an Ant task. It can be opened/extracted without problems, but if I put it in Tomcat, I always get NoClassDefFoundError. If I zip the classes manually, it works just fine... Is this an Ant or Tomcat issue? Torsten Torsten Römer schrieb: Hello! I am currently trying to migrate a webbased cashregister system from BEA Weblogic 6.1/JDK 1.3.1 to Tomcat 5.0.25/JDK 1.4.2. After making some minor changes the application seems to work, and it also seems to run a lot faster. I have one problem though: The application does a lot of Class.forName(), which occasionally fails with a NoClassDefFoundError. One time everything seems to work fine, another time, after a restart of Tomcat, I sometimes get this error. In a pretty old post here I read that I have to add the classes in question (they are all in WEB-INF/classes) to Tomcat's classpath, so that the classloader can find them. Does this still apply? Or have I overlooked some setting, that for example preloads classes or something like that?
