I saw something similar recently- a static code block in the class in question was throwing an unchecked exception, which prevented the class from being loaded.

I hope this problem can be easily explained. I am using Tomcat 5.0.24. I have an application, packaged it in a WAR file, and deployed it. This application has a login page. After logging in, the application redirects to a page named search.jsp. This page loads a package (import search.*). Package search includes several classes. The two in question are Search.class and SearchSession.class. SearchSession is started as a bean and it has an instance of the Search class in it. However, when search.jsp loads (and loads SearchSession) I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. When I view the source, it is where SearchSession creates an instance of the Search class. I have verified that the classes are under WEB-INF/classes/search. Any ideas of what could be going wrong?
