Weblogic.application.ApplicationException cannot be resolved error

Question

Hi,
I am new to Weblogic Server. I am creating a web application in which I have created a custom MBean. Right now, I am coding the class which extends 'ApplicationLifecycleListener' in order to register the custom MBean automatically when the app is started. I am getting the following error (a red mark appears at the very top of the class, before anything else):
“The type weblogic.application.ApplicationException cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files”
I am using WL server 10.0. When I looked at the API for 'ApplicationLifecycleListener' for WLS 10.0, the methods do not throw this exception, although the 9.0 API does. see here:
[url http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs100/javadocs/weblogic/application/ApplicationLifecycleListener.html]
this is my listener class
package Files;
import javax.management.MBeanServer;
import javax.management.MalformedObjectNameException;
import javax.management.ObjectName;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import weblogic.application.*;
import weblogic.application.ApplicationContext;
import weblogic.application.ApplicationLifecycleEvent;
import weblogic.application.ApplicationLifecycleListener;
public class AppLifeCycleListenerImp extends ApplicationLifecycleListener  {
     private MBeanServer server;
     public void postStart(ApplicationLifecycleEvent evt){
          try{     
               ApplicationContext appctx = evt.getApplicationContext();
               String appID = appctx.getApplicationId();                              
               ObjectName name = new ObjectName("RIM.SVandV:Name="+appID+",Type=customObjectMBean");
               InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
               //Listener running within J2EE module =>the JNDI name for the Runtime MBeanServer is: java:comp/env/jmx/runtime
               server = (MBeanServer)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jmx/runtime");
               CustomObject mbean = new CustomObject(); 
               mbean.setInteger1(12);mbean.setInteger2(22);
               mbean.setString1("hello12");mbean.setString2("hello22");
               server.registerMBean(mbean, name);
          }catch (Exception e){
               e.printStackTrace();
     public void preStop(ApplicationLifecycleEvent evt){
          try{          
               ApplicationContext appctx = evt.getApplicationContext();
               String appID = appctx.getApplicationId();                              
               ObjectName name = new ObjectName("RIM.SVandV:Name="+appID+",Type=customObjectMBean");
               server.unregisterMBean(name);
          }catch (Exception e){
               e.printStackTrace();
This is my MBean class
package Files;
public interface CustomObjectMBean {
     public int getInteger1();     
     public int getInteger2();     
     public String getString1();     
     public String getString2();
and this is the MBean implementing class
package Files;
public class CustomObject implements CustomObjectMBean{
     private int integer1;
     private int integer2;
     private String string1;
     private String string2;
     public int getInteger1(){
          return integer1;
     public int getInteger2(){
          return integer2;
     public String getString1(){
          return string1;          
     public String getString2(){
          return string2;
     public void setInteger1(int integer1){
          this.integer1 = integer1;
     public void setInteger2(int integer2){
          this.integer2=integer2;
          public void setString1(String string1){
          this.string1=string1;          
     public void setString2(String string2){
          this.string2=string2;
}any help would be great. thank you.

weblogic.application.ApplicationException should be in weblogic.jar, in your server/lib directory.
