NCDFE generally means that the class that depends on the missing class is present in a parent classloader that doesn't have access to the needed class. Can you figure out which class is trying to load the dom4j class? If so you might be able to figure out which classloader has loaded that class. Also, are you using the jetty or tomcat geronimo version? You might try the other one to see if there's a difference in behavior.

Hello all,

I'm fairly new to Geronimo but I'm trying to deploy Atlassian's
Confluence 2.5.2 war file to Geronimo 2 M5.

I can successfully deploy it to Geronimo 1.1.1 but when I try it
Geronimo 2 M5 I get the following error:
13:26:52,539 ERROR [[/confluence]] Exception sending context
initialized event to listener instance of class
com.atlassian.confluence.setup.ConfluenceConfigurationListener
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/Element

I can see that it's not finding the dom4j library but what I don't
know is why. The library file exists within the confluence .war file
WEB-INF/lib directory. Is there something I should have in my
geronimo-web.xml file to set the library/class path?

Here is my current geronimo-web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/web-1.1";>
   <environment>
       <moduleId>
           <groupId>atlassian</groupId>
           <artifactId>confluence</artifactId>
           <version>2.5.2</version>
       </moduleId>
       <dependencies>
           <dependency>
               <groupId>console.dbpool</groupId>
               <artifactId>ConfluencePool</artifactId>
           </dependency>
       </dependencies>
   </environment>
   <context-root>/confluence</context-root>
   <!-- security settings, if any, go here -->
   <resource-ref>
       <ref-name>jdbc/ConfluenceDS</ref-name>
       <resource-link>ConfluencePool</resource-link>
   </resource-ref>
</web-app>

Any help is appreciated!
