Thanks for quick response Mark. JARs in /mylib are not dependent on JARs in web app. In fact its the other way round. /mylib is having all Spring, hibernate jar’s, other common libs and WEB-INF/lib is containing jar of one of my application modules. The class for which i am getting ClassNotFoundException exception is part of JAR present under WEB-INF/lib.
I enabled the class loader logs and don’t see that class getting loaded on server startup. However, when i copy all JAR’s from /mylib to WEB-INF/lib, that class is getting loaded and i don’t get the ClassNotFoundException on runtime. Any thoughts what might be causing this?
