4.2.2. Debug and Resolve ClassNotFoundExceptions and NoClassDefFoundErrors

Summary

ClassNotFoundExceptions usually occur due to an unresolved dependency. This means you must explicitly define the dependencies on other modules or copy JARs from external sources.

  1. First, try to find the missing dependency. This is described in more detail here: Section 4.2.3, “Find the JBoss Module Dependency”
  2. If there is not a module for the missing class, find the JAR in the previous install. For more information, see Section 4.2.4, “Find the JAR in the Previous Install”
