Can't access non ejb classes from JSP - NoClassDefFound error

Question

          Hi,
          I have one session ejb which has a method returning a collection of non ejb class objects (say of Class 'Foo').
          The method signature is like :
          "Collection getFinacialData() throws RemoteException"
          It is working fine with normal java clients. Now when I run this from a JSP it gives a "NoClassDefFoundError". I kept class 'Foo' and the remote interface of the session bean in the same package and also in the same ejb jar file. Also I am running JSP and ejb in same WL server(ver 5.1, SP8 on solaris). What I have done is only deployed the bean jar file. Do I need to do anything more?
          thanks in advance.
          

Answer 1

I ran into a similar problem. I solved it by putting the client classes for
          accessing my EJB in the WebLogic POST_CLASSPATH in the startWebLogic script
          file:
          set POST_CLASSPATH=d:\weblogic\myserver\myClient.jar
          For more information on class visibility between the JSP and EJB class
          loaders, check out
