Mxml Servlet initialisation problem

[Tomsky01]

Having installed the flex data services express edition with
tomcat5.5, the following exception occurs every time I attempt a
*.mxml request:



java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError


flex.webtier.util.ServiceUtil.setupFlexService(ServiceUtil.java:63)


flex.webtier.server.j2ee.MxmlServlet.init(MxmlServlet.java:57)


flex.bootstrap.BootstrapServlet.init(BootstrapServlet.java:87)



It might help in tracing the problem to know what class is
being referred to that cannot be found. Any ideas?

It sounds like you don't have the webtier correctly
installed... the /WEB-INF/flex-bootstrap.jar

looks for classes in the /WEB-INF/flex/jars/... folder. Did
you perhaps try

to upgrade and old Flex application and only copied
/WEB-INF/lib?

I had this problem; it turned out to be because I'd
configured my Tomcat server by default with unpackWARs="false".

You might want to take a look at the "Running from a
compressed WAR" section of the install notes at:

This solved my problem - note how the sample is trying to
access .mxml files directly.

Hope that helps.
