Ok, this is what the Javadocs say about java.lang.ClassFormatError.
<snip>
Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a class file and
determines that the file is malformed or otherwise cannot be interpreted as a class
file.
</snip>
I interpret this as that the classloader are _finding_ the class but has problems
loading it.
What is this file/class? Something you copied from somewhere? Could it be that
you are missing an inline class for VCALookup? i.e. VCALookup$<inlineclass>.class
I would think that there's something wrong with the VCALookup class, if it couldn't
find the file you wou'd have gotten a ClassNotFoundException. Is VCALookup refering
to any other classed that you've missed to bring to your Tomcat env?
