Hey Thanks!

it is a customized class loader. The file to be loaded(SubClass.java)
is in a directory (subdir). class SubClass extends class 'SuperClass'
also defined in SubClass.java

something like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
class SuperClass {

   public int cadence;
   public int gear;
   public int speed=7;

   public SuperClass(int startCadence, int startSpeed, int startGear)
{
       gear = startGear;
       cadence = startCadence;
       speed = startSpeed;
   }

}

public class SubClass extends SuperClass {

   public int seatHeight;

   public SubClass(int startHeight, int startCadence, int startSpeed,
int startGear) {
       super(startCadence, startSpeed, startGear);
       seatHeight = startHeight;
   }

   public void disp() {
       System.out.println(" Speed : " + speed);
    System.out.println("hi!");
   }

}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

i get the NoClassDefFoundError for SuperClass. If however, I remove
the inheritance(SuperClass) and just keep the SubClass, The loader
works fine.Do I have to separately load the SuperClass as well?
