My application does Base64 encoding & decoding using apache commons codec. I have commons-codec jar included in my ear. It still throws ClassNotFoundException when I invoke the encoding/decoding functionality. All other parts of the application work fine. Any suggestions? java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64 from BaseClassLoader@1a2ac44{vfszip:/C:/deploy/app.ear/}         at org.jboss.classloader.spi.base.BaseClassLoader.loadClass(BaseClassLoader.java:477)         at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248)         at org.comp.app.dao.hibernate.Compress.compress(Compress.java:23)         at org.hibernate.type.CustomType.nullSafeSet(CustomType.java:169)         at org.hibernate.persister.entity.AbstractEntityPersister.dehydrate(AbstractEntityPersister.java:2016)         at org.hibernate.persister.entity.AbstractEntityPersister.insert(AbstractEntityPersister.java:2262)         at org.hibernate.persister.entity.AbstractEntityPersister.insert(AbstractEntityPersister.java:2679)         at org.hibernate.action.EntityInsertAction.execute(EntityInsertAction.java:79)         at org.hibernate.engine.ActionQueue.execute(ActionQueue.java:279)         at org.hibernate.engine.ActionQueue.executeActions(ActionQueue.java:263)         at org.hibernate.engine.ActionQueue.executeActions(ActionQueue.java:167)         at org.hibernate.event.def.AbstractFlushingEventListener.performExecutions(AbstractFlushingEventListener.java:321)         at org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultFlushEventListener.onFlush(DefaultFlushEventListener.java:50)         at org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.flush(SessionImpl.java:1029)         at org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.managedFlush(SessionImpl.java:367)         at org.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransaction.commit(JDBCTransaction.java:137)        at org.apache.jsp.debug.clear_005fcache_005fbatch_jsp._jspService(clear_005fcache_005fbatch_jsp.java:188)         at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:70)         at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717)         at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:369)         at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:322)         at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:249) Thanks, Vishal -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/604265#604265] Start a new discussion in Beginner's Corner at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
