ClassNotFound means that that jar is not in your classpath. Are you getting this when running or when compiling. There will be a classpath set for the compiler, that is usually what you get when you add it to your IDE. And there is a classpath when you are running your application.

In you case, in that one scenario the jar file is not in your classpath.

Thanks

Mark

Mark, i resolved this problem. the mistake is i did not copy the jar files in the tomcat lib directory as it is the spring mvc web application.

Thank you Mark for the reply.

Thanks,
Praneeth.
