I have a PDC that is suppose to copy a runtime file to the tomcat lib directory, and every time the PDC goes to check the runtime version, I'm getting a classnotfoundexception. I don't understand why, since the jar file containing the class is part of the build path for the PDC ui project. I can even drill down into the Version classfile, but at runtime (in an Eclipse environment), the system is throwing a class not found exception. I've checked everything I can think of an can't find any indication of why it's not being found at runtime.

Any ideas?

<!--END CUT-->

The class in question is the unisys-secmgr-rtcommon.jar file. This file is suppose to be copied to the Tomcat LIB directory however it needs to check the Version before copying. This is an OD 7.1 with JDK 1.8 and Tomcat 8.0.If you'd like, I can send over the UI project, just let me know. :)

Thanks

Is there an exception stack trace you can find? I need to see where exactly the error occurs.

Also, do you see any error message like "Error loading version check extension point." in the .log or Error Log view?

I ended up removing the runtimeversioncheck endpoint and there's no longer an error. I added the jar as an "item" to the pluggableconnector endpoint and the jar file gets copied to the TOMCAT_LIB directory on use.

This works, not sure why it was throwing the error. I used another project that performs the same functions as a template, and even copied most of the code. Anyway, it's working.
