Unknown reason for java.lang.ClassNotFoundException


In an application, we have declared Action class as a Spring bean. This is working fine for all Struts mapping.

<bean id="plantAdminApprovalAction" scope="prototype"
        class="com.honda.naps.action.padmin.PlantAdminApprovalAction">
        <constructor-arg ref="plantAdminAppController" />
        <property name="plantAdminApprovalDTO" ref="plantAdminApprovalDTO"></property>
</bean>

We are using this for multiple Struts mapping

<action name="loadApprovalPlant" class="plantAdminApprovalAction" method="loadNAPSApprovalScreenFinal" >
    <result name="success" type="tiles">ApprovalWorkflowPlant</result>
</action>
<action name="loadMandatoryApprovalScreenFinal" class="plantAdminApprovalAction" method="loadMandatoryApprovalScreenFinal" >
    <result name="success" type="tiles">MandatoryApprovalWorkflowPlant</result>
</action>
<action name="deleteTransportApprover" class="plantAdminApprovalAction" method="deleteTransportApprover">
    <result name="success" type="tiles">ApprovalWorkflowPlant</result>
</action>
<action name="deleteApprover" class="plantAdminApprovalAction" method="deleteApprover">
    <result name="success" type="redirect-action">loadMandatoryApprovalScreenFinal</result>
</action>
<action name="insertApprover" class="plantAdminApprovalAction" method="insertApprover">
    <result name="success">/jsps/padmin/addApproverMsg.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="addNonMandateDepartment" class="plantAdminApprovalAction" method="addNonMandateDepartment">
    <result name="success">/jsps/padmin/addDepartment.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="insertDeptApprover" class="plantAdminApprovalAction" method="insertDeptApprover">
    <result name="success">/jsps/padmin/addnonmandeptMsg.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="addApprover" class="plantAdminApprovalAction" method="addApprover">
    <result name="success">/jsps/padmin/addApprover.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="deleteDeptApprover" class="plantAdminApprovalAction" method="deleteDepartmentApprovers">
    <result name="success" type="redirect-action">loadApprovalPlant</result>
</action>

At all action mapping declaration it is working fine but one declaration it is breaking and throwing below exception:

Unfortunately, this is not happening on Eclipse and Test environment but it is happening on QA environment. Need some thoughts and inputs for this issue.


Solution

  • Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: PlantAdminApprovalAction

    It expects a valid class name (FQCN) to be used for the action class. For example

    <action name="loadApprovalPlant" class="com.honda.naps.action.padmin.PlantAdminApprovalAction" method="loadNAPSApprovalScreenFinal" >
        <result name="success" type="tiles">ApprovalWorkflowPlant</result>
    </action>
