Symptoms

Encountering the following error when starting an Oracle API Gateway instance

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/vordel/circuit/log/LogMessagePayloadProcessor
  at com.vordel.circuit.FilterPathTracker.(FilterPathTracker.java:14)
  at com.vordel.dwe.Service.(Service.java:373)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.vordel.circuit.log.LogMessagePayloadProcessor
  at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:366)
  at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:355)
  at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
  at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:354)
  at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:425)
  at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:358)
  ... 2 more

Due to these errors, the gateway will not start showing a very generic message in the trace file:

Exception in thread "main"

This is only occurring on one environment.  There is another installation that is operating successfully with no errors seen.
