APIApplication extends ro.pippo.core.Application

How is packaged the application, it's a war file deployed in Tomcat or you use the Pippo launcher from a main static void method? Please give us more information.

[Widiyanto]

yes a war file deployed in Tomcat.

my web.xml:

<filter>
    <filter-name>pippo</filter-name>
    <filter-class>ro.pippo.core.PippoFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>applicationClassName</param-name>
        <param-value>com.ab.abc.APIApplication</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>

In this case please take a look inside of your war file (it's a zip) to see if you find your application class in WEB-INF/classes directory. I suspect that your war file doesn't contains all your classes.

I recommand you to develope your application using Pippo launcher (to use the Tomcat container embeded in your application via the pippo-tomcat module). Deploy your application as war file only at final and only if you have a constrain (your employer has explicitly requested you to provide a war file). In this mode you are more productive.

WEB-INF/classes inside my war file i have all classes include APIApplication.class

I will try myself to reproduce the problem and I will come back with a response asap.
