Wicket - Unexpected RuntimeException-CodePudding

I'm a Wicket beginner programming a simple forum. I have now implemented a PostgreSQL database to store the queries and also modified the contact page for this. But it no longer works and throws an error. I have checked the code several times but I absolutely do not know where the error is. I use NetBeans as IDE. Here is the stacktrace:

ContactPage class:

public class ContactPage extends BasePage {
    
    public ContactPage() {
        Form form = new ContactForm("form");
        add(form);
    }

    @Override
    public void setTitleModelObject() {
        titleModel.setObject(getString("title.contactPage"));       
    }
}

ContactForm class:

public class ContactForm extends Form {
    private String email;
    private String text;
    
    public ContactForm(String id) {
        super(id);
        
        setDefaultModel(new CompoundPropertyModel(this));
        
        add(new TextField("email"));
        add(new TextArea("text"));
    }
    
    @Override
    protected void onSubmit() {
        Comment comment = new Comment();
        comment.setCreatedTime(new Timestamp(new Date().getTime()));
        comment.setEmail(email);
        comment.setTextOfComment(text);
        
        CommentDao dao = new CommentDaoImpl();
        dao.saveComment(comment);
        
        setResponsePage(HomePage.class);
    }
}

CommentDao class:

public interface CommentDao {
    public void saveComment(Comment comment);
    public List<Comment> getAllComments();
}

I couldn't find anything similar. I will appreciate any help.

CodePudding user response：

The first line of the exception message tells you the root cause of the problem:

Root cause: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 
com.sample.database.CommentDao

In other words, the class/interface com.sample.database.CommentDao is not on the classpath. Perhaps you haven't compiled that class or you are running the server in a way that is not using your compiled code.
