And gwt-servlet.jar is in your war/WEB-INF/lib folder? In your stack trace you can see:
at com.google.appengine.tools.development.IsolatedAppClassLoader.loadClass(IsolatedAppClassLoader.java:207) which indicates that you are using AppEngine. The IsolatedAppClassLoader JavaDoc states that it isolates the webapp from the DevAppServer and everything on system classpath. I don't know AppEngine but it sounds to me that only libs in WEB-INF/lib are allowed and it does not really matter whats on system class path. Maven probably put gwt-servlet.jar automatically into WEB-INF/lib if you have defined a dependency for it. -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
