I've created a custom evaluator and deployed the jar to &lt;TOMCAT_HOME&gt;/shared/lib. However, I got ClassNotFoundException<img id="smileysurprised" class="emoticon emoticon-smileysurprised" src="https://connect.hyland.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-surprised.png" alt="Smiley Surprised" title="Smiley Surprised" />rg.alfresco.web.evaluator.BaseEvaluator when I started Alfresco. I removed extension of BasedEvaluator from the custom evaluator and deployed again, I got ClassNotFoundException: org.json.simple.JSONObject. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>However it works fine when I deploy the jar to &lt;TOMCAT_HOME&gt;webapps/share/WEB_INF/lib. It seems shared/lib/*.jar gets initialized before loading all other jars.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I tried enterprise 4.0.2 and enterprise 4.1.3. Both produced the same error.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Does anyone know why? Is this a bug?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Many thanks</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 10 May 2013 09:04:06 GMT alex_lu 2013-05-10T09:04:06Z ClassNotFoundException: org.alfresco.web.evaluator.BaseEvaluator https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/classnotfoundexception-org-alfresco-web-evaluator-baseevaluator/m-p/307098#M260228 Hello,I'm experiencing a strange problem.

You can't but a JAR that has a direct dependency on an Alfresco class on the shared/lib/*.jar path since the shared-classloader does not have access to the webapp-specific classloader of Alfresco to load the dependant class BaseEvaluator. Such a JAR can only be put in the WEB-INF/lib of Alfresco.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Axel</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 14 May 2013 23:56:42 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/classnotfoundexception-org-alfresco-web-evaluator-baseevaluator/m-p/307099#M260229 afaust 2013-05-14T23:56:42Z
