applet fails to load class from jar

Question

Some users are complaining that the applet no longer works, When they view the java console they are greeted with a java.lang.noClassDefFoundError and checking my access log

Answer 1

Are you sure the jar file contains all the necessary classes? Open it up in your favorite Zip application and double check. Maybe a recent build of that jar got messed up and doesn't have everything in it.
