After invoking the webapplication I'll get the following Exception. 16:15:40,460 FATALJAV0304[I1U2Mzdz] SERVER@11.1.9.138: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: de.beispielanwendung.mietverhaeltnis.web.application.state.Mietverhaeltn isSessionState in classloader Beispielanwendung/EAR/1.0/car at org.apache.geronimo.kernel.config.MultiParentClassLoader.loadClass(Multi ParentClassLoader.java(Compiled Code)) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java(Compiled Code)) at java.lang.Class.forName1(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java(Compiled Code)) The jar-File with the Class-file is in the surrounding EAR-File and referenced in the Manifest-File. Are blanks or other Characters important in the Manifest-File? How to fix this Problem? Invers Classloading is not possible, because of different jar-Versions of the libs. regards Frank Pientka
