Well, I considered all those things and finally, I did the only thing you
can do when things get this weird:
I did a completely clean checkout and rebuild of everything and of course...
problem solved. Guess I'll never know what was really happening, but the
experience (and solution) is a lesson in itself...
Thanks for your reply.

Ok, this is what the Javadocs say about java.lang.ClassFormatError.
<snip>
Thrown when the Java Virtual Machine attempts to read a class file and
determines that the file is malformed or otherwise cannot be interpreted as
a class file.
</snip>
I interpret this as that the classloader are _finding_ the class but has
problems
loading it.
What is this file/class? Something you copied from somewhere? Could it be
that
you are missing an inline class for VCALookup? i.e.
VCALookup$<inlineclass>.class
I would think that there's something wrong with the VCALookup class, if it
couldn't
find the file you wou'd have gotten a ClassNotFoundException. Is VCALookup
refering
to any other classed that you've missed to bring to your Tomcat env?
