[jetty-users] java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.jetty.servle

[ccleve <ccleve.tech@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've subclassed ProxyServlet.Transparent for our own proxy server. It 
runs fine in Eclipse. When I start the server at the command line using 
start.jar, I get the ClassNotFoundException in the title.

My subclass is in a jar that I put in /lib/mysubdirectory, and I added 
that subdirectory in start.ini with OPTIONS=Server,....,mysubdirectory

It looks like ProxyServer.Transparent is in jetty-servlets.x.x.x.jar, 
which is in the /lib directory. If I'm reading the code in start.config 
in start.jar correctly, it should get picked up and put on the classpath 
properly.

I'm loading my proxy subclass in web.xml using a <servlet> tag.

Is start.jar doing some funny classloader stuff that keeps that class 
invisible? How can I make it visible?
