I am working on upgrading from Jboss-3.2.3 to Jboss-4.0.5. I get a

 NoClassDefFoundError when I start my server while deploying EJBs

 which have velocity classes in them. The jar has the Velocity jars 

 and this works for Jboss-3.2.3 but does not work for Jboss-4.0.5.The

 error I get is below. Do we need any extra configuration settings for

 the velocity classes to load?

 Thanks
