Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Resolution

It looks like, virtual service (vsm file) which you are trying to open is using custom filter ( com.lisa.test.filter.CustomParseFilter) with-in the vsm.

Because of this, you are getting an error.

    Copy the required jars used by this custom filter to Devtest/lib/shared folder and then verify from workstation.
