NoClassDefFoundError in Glassfish :(

Question

I have this issue bothering me for quite something time.

I have java app developed using netbeans, and deployed on glassfish 3. This part of the code used to work before but now for some reason it is not working. I am using JODConvertor and i can see the library available both in the lib folder and in the war file after deployment.

I have read similar questions on the site, but its not working. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the IDE and the Application Server but to no avail .

Please i need your help.

You need to add ridl.jar to your CLASSPATH. Don't know which version is suitable for you.
