[opencms-dev] Getting OpenCMS up and running - newsmodule, de mo website

[Jorg Heymans]

You would get a NoClassDefFoundError probably also if a class/library that 
this particular class needs is not found. You should check the tomcat log or 
opencms log for the root cause of this exception, sometimes viewing the html 
source of the opencms error page reveils a bit more..

Also : module classes should reside in WEB-INF/occlasses, not the standard 
WEB-INF/classes. 

Hope this helps
