I am in the process of switching from a Windows box to Ubunutu and I want to run my own local instance of Tomcat 6. I have installed Tomcat 6 without any basic issues.

The class that is not being found is located at /WEB-INF/classes/com/ameren/eam/ldap/LdapDAONovellImpl.class relative to /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml. I cannot figure out why it cannot find the class? Any ideas would be great.
