Thanks. basically it was a typo here when posting this query. In the project, it is WEB-INF folder only.Basically, as you mentioned, there seems to be some configuration issue when am building the project from eclipse, as i see that WEB-INF\lib folder is empty. However, if i do a
maven build from outside eclipse, then it works fine. Earlier, i got confused between the war generated by eclipse (which is some other default folder) and the one which i generate from mvn build from outside. Having said that, i am still not sure what configuration am i missing in eclipse(since WEB-INF\lib) is empty. Please help
