Error in creating GUID using com.sap.guid API's

Question

Hi
   i am trying to create GUID using com.sap.guid API's. I've included the guidgenerator.jar in the classpath. I ran the following code. i got the "Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sap/guid/GUIDGeneratorFactory " error.
the code is
package com.portal;
import com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.;*
import com.sap.guid.GUIDGeneratorFactory;
import com.sap.guid.IGUID;
import com.sap.guid.IGUIDGenerator;
import com.sap.guid.IGUIDGeneratorFactory;
public class TestCompforGUID extends AbstractPortalComponent
    public void doContent(IPortalComponentRequest request, IPortalComponentResponse response)
*          IGUIDGenerator generator = GUIDGeneratorFactory.getInstance().createGUIDGenerator();*
*          String guid = generator.createGUID().toString();*
*          String hexGuid = generator.createGUID().toHexString();*
*          response.write(guid);*
*          response.write(hexGuid);*
can anyone created the GUID's using com.sap.guid API's and help me here.
Do i need to specify any reference in Portalapp.xml ?
Thanks,
Saravanan

difficult to reproduce. But it might be a data conversion problem.
e.g. try
to_char(a.num_tabs)If that's not the error comment out certain lines or xmltags and test which one is the reason for the error.
