XML parsing using Commons Digester in Netweaver

Hi,

I am trying to parse an XML file using commons-digester and on parsing I get SAPClassNotFoundException for the class file "com.rim.eselling.web.navigation.NavigationRule" that i defined in the mapping-rules.xml for the digester. The test runs fine locally as a java application but throws this exception when running on a web environment??

Any idea why its unable to load the class file "com.rim.eselling.web.navigation.NavigationRule"?

<b>

SAPClassNotFoundException

inNegativeCache= true

with message saying:

<i>
