Problem
I am currently experiencing a ClassNotFoundException with a deployed EAR (with an OpenFaces web project) on a WebSphere 7.0 application server. The EAR is deployed without problems, but when I go to access the page from a web project (included in the EAR), I get a ClassNotFoundException (below). I exported an EAR to make sure everything is there and the WAR file is included. When I looked at the WAR file, a class that was not found is included in the WEB-INF / classes folder. The exception applies to the class that is in the web project, and not in the JAR, if that helps. I assume that I am missing something in my project configuration. All reviews are welcome!
