Cocoon not able to find Action classes.

[Geeta Sharma <gs...@knowledgeview.co.uk>]

Hi,
I am using Cocoon 2 with Orion 1.5.2 . The Default Cocoon page and examples
work properly. I have prepared a Application .ear file and configured the
Orion Server to run Cocoon as my Web framework. The System is working
properly for .XSP pages and I am able to view them, but when I add Actions,
I get :-

It is clear that Cocoon is not able to locate the required classes. All the
classes are present in ejb.jar file. I do not want to make my actions part
of cocoon.jar. I have tried all below combinations for setting class path,
but still I get the same error.

1) I edited web.xml file in WEB-INF, to give extra-classpath path to my
ejb.jar file. It did not work.

2) Copied ejb.jar in WEB-INF/lib directory. This also did not work.

Any suggestion how I can make cocoon access actions from my EJB application
jar file, containing all my ejb, and action classes.
When I See the cocoon.log file , I am able to see the required jar file
classpath printed.

Thanks in advance
Geeta
