How to deploy a new jar file into Alfresco 3

[chaibi]

Hi,
I followed this link http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/LDAP-CIFS_on_Alfresco_Enterprise_v3.0.0 to customize LDAP authentication implementation to support CIFS but when i deployed the jar file in tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/ the loader don't load it :

Error loading class [LDAPAuthenticationComponentImpl] for bean with name 'authenticationComponent' defined in file [/opt/Alfresco-3.1/l bs/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/ldap-authentication-context.xml]: problem with class file or dependent class; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: LDAPAuthenticationComponentImpl (wrong name: com/company/repo/security/authentication/ldap/LDAPAuthenticationComponentImpl)

Think you for any help

If your problem is that you put a new .jar in Alfresco/web-inf/lib/ and Alfresco doesn´t read it, I´ll sugest a little solution:

1) Pick an existing jar file from alfresco and make a copy.

2) Use winrar and insert your clases into the copied jar.

3) Delete the original Alfresco´s files from the copied jar.

4) rename it and move the jar file to Alfresco/web-inf/lib/.

I know that its a bit extrange solution, but it worked for me when I had the same problem.

I hope this will help you.
