Thanks for the reply Peter I have reviewed the tomcat class loader doc http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html b And it appears I am adhering to the rules but Ive also reviewed this page
http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-user&m=103843452413727&w=2 and its possible that this snippet could be the issue * If a class itself cannot be found, you will usually get a ClassNotFoundException. You're getting a NoClassDefFoundError exception instead, which means that your class was found, but one of the classes *it* depends on (i.e. imports) can not be found. Double check that the classes your Syslog class depends on are available. Question what is Syslog? As per the stack trace it says NoClassDefFoundError, but why does it not specify the exact missing dependency?? And how can I find it?
