Hi - I solved the issue by changing the satic variable to be non-static. See
details below. You may want to do some testing on that configuration.

OK thanks. I did that but did not find more information in the DEBUG
messages. I finally recompiled the geronimo "xbean" libray from the sources
and added some log statements inside to get the full stacktrace :
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: LLogger;
at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredFields0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredFields(Class.java:2291)
at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredFields(Class.java:1743)
at org.apache.xbean.finder.ClassFinder.<init>(ClassFinder.java:157)

openejb create a temp class loader to avoid jar loacking (in particular for

I am running on Linux so I don't think jar locking is an issue here. I tried
to set that to false in the context.xml file and saw no difference.
OK So are some details on my setup :
1. The class in the original error message (Could not fully load class:
com.mondeca.portal.workingcontext.server.WorkingContextServiceImpl) is a
servlet declared in web.xml
2. This class is inside jar file A in WEB-INF/lib/A.jar
3. This class references another class "com.mondeca.Logger" in a STATIC
variable (very important). This is the second class in the error message :
"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: LLogger;"
4. This other class is in another jar B in WEb-INF/lib/B.jar
5. A.jar contains classpath attribute inside its META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
file (coming from previous ear packing) referencing "B.jar"
If I change the variable to be a non-static variable, the error disappear.
