at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

I have the following in my web.xml file:

The class is in the .war file. It's in myPackage.myClass

Dred ,
com.mackenzie.sales.trailadjustments.ValidUserException
This class must be available either under the WEB-INF\classes folder
or
must be available in
WEB-INF\lib
in a jar file, perhaps zip formats are not supported

WLS 6.1 has hell lot of problems with regards to web applications. ClassNotFoundException should not have been thrown as per WLS 6.1 docs. In WLS 6.1 sp3/WLS 7.0 It didn't give error.

Yes, it works fine in Tomcat.
Also some other issues that I faced was in regards to specifying IDLength for limitting session id length. Also log4j1.2 had problem with WLS 6.1 sp2.
Do install ur application on WLS 7.0.
