Yes - it should have:

<source path='shared' />

it it.

But mainly, you need to make sure that your server-side classpath contains the file, because the
server must be able to instantiate it.

That's what your original error seemed to imply. GWT de-serializes classes on the server by looking
for the classname as a string in the RPC payload and then doing a 'Class.forName'. Thus the class
must be available to the server classloader. To be honest, I don't understand why yours isn't if you
are using eclipse, because the typical GWT project setup adds all the classes in the src folder to
the classpath. Are you getting this problem when you are running under the debugger in Eclipse? or
only when you deploy. If its the later, you should check that the *client* and *shared* .class files
are present under WEB-INF/war/classes folder.
