On IRC, yesterday, a user reported a problem deploying their app on Geronimo
2.2.1. They had an exception like the following:
ERROR Servlet /analytics threw load() exception
org.springframework.beans.PropertyBatchUpdateException; nested
PropertyAccessException details (1) are:
PropertyAccessException 1:
org.springframework.beans.MethodInvocationException: Property 'accountService'
threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

The problem was caused by their use of org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender
(actually they were using com.tgerm.log4j.appender.GmailSMTPAppender, which
extends SMTPAppender).
log4j was being loaded from the Geronimo root classloader (log4j is packaged in
our lib). The root classloader does not include the javamail spec api classes.
And thus we end up with a confusing NoClassDefFoundError.
Their app included log4j. So, adding:
<dep:hidden-classes>
<dep:filter>org.apache.log4j</dep:filter>
</dep:hidden-classes>
to their deployment plan fixed the problem. If the app didn't include log4j,
you could add a dependency for the log4j jar in their deployment plan…
You should probably also review docs on application specific logging --
