[opencms-dev] ANSWER: NoClassDefFoundError

[Jeroen Habets]

After adding the directory where my own classes subside to the
repositories list in the zone.properties file, everything worked fine.

This information is not present in any manual! Also the
config/install.txt does not mention this.

Consise:
Add to your zone.properties file:

    repositories=(your servlet path)

to be able to use classes from there.

P.S. I had expected an answer to this question, from either this list or
the OpenCMS developers to which I also sent two messages.
P.P.S. Adjusting your CLASSPATH environment variable or
wrapper.classpath does not help, since OpenCMS uses a different
classloader.
