What does this really mean??? It says NoClassDefFoundError as if it wasn't finding a class, which i can assume is the compiled jsp servlet... but how can it not find it, if that's the case? I'm following the same procedure i followed for all my test applications, but this one that it's for real, it's getting me that...

Does anyabody has a hint...?

Thanks a lot

I'm using Hibernate Tools, so i try to connect to the database through the console configuration, like i used to prior to reverse engineering, and for my surprise, it doesn't let me, saying there's a mapping file missing... But guess what... the file is there where it's supposed to be.

Hibernate or Hibernate Tools must have messed up with my classpath, i can only think...

Is that really it? How? Where? What?

Thanks a lot
