I am getting a NoClassDefFoundError during startup when hibernate tries to lookup the following classes. It does resolve finding the table classes in the same package but does not find the classes with the Id added below. Any ideas why? I am running it through RMI and seemed to work prior to this. I need to be able to use it through the RMI layer, since the majority of our stuff is goiing through RMI. The jar that has these classes is in the classpath too. When the RMI Service is created the classpath is setup passing the rapidReviewRmi.jar.

The problem was due to the wrong version of cglib.jar being used. I replaced this with the version supplied with the spring framework and it resolved the problem. Not sure why I used the wrong version and can not remember if that version already existing in our lib folder and did not look it up in Spring directory. Hope this helps someone else in the future.
