What determines where jar files get placed in a war?

995862Apr 6 2013 — edited Apr 8 2013
Using Eclipse I have imported a WAR with source. I have exported that project as a new war and it ran fine. I then added my own package and exported the war again. The jar file does not show up in /WEB-INF/lib folder. When I deploy the war on a tomcat server it barfs the following error:


Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class [com.sharpline.fields.form.fields.TextAreaFormType] for bean with name 'com.sharpline.fields.form.fields.TextAreaFormType#53c37' defined in ServletContext resource [WEB-INF/activiti-standalone-context.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sharpline.fields.form.fields.TextAreaFormType
at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.resolveBeanClass(AbstractBeanFactory.java:1262)

at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionValueResolver.resolveInnerBean(BeanDefinitionValueResolver.java:270)


It looks to me like my class (jar) is missing in the final war. I am new to this and have searched, I just don't quite know what to look for. How do I resolve this?

You learn to properly use and setup the tool you're using. And you do that by reading its manual.

extract the war which you had deployed on tomcat and see if this jar is present there, if not then your war file packaging is not proper.
