Not sure why am I getting this error. Lots of similar questions here but none have worked for me till now.

My ivy file is

<ivy-module version="2.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/schemas/ivy.xsd">
    <info
        organisation=""
        module="knoxWeb"
        status="integration">
    </info>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency org="org.springframework" name="spring-core" rev="4.0.3.RELEASE"/>
        <dependency org="org.springframework" name="spring-context" rev="4.0.3.RELEASE"/>
        <dependency org="org.springframework" name="spring-web" rev="4.0.3.RELEASE"/>
        <dependency org="org.springframework" name="spring-webmvc" rev="4.0.3.RELEASE"/>
        <dependency org="org.springframework" name="spring-beans" rev="4.0.3.RELEASE"/>
    </dependencies>
</ivy-module>

and my web.xml is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">

   </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

I have resolved ivy. Still getting the error. Also i can see the Class in my eclipse.

I am really stuck at this. Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

PS : I also tried adding < dependency org="org.springframework" name="spring" rev="2.5.6"/> but ivy does not resolve. I get

Some projects fail to be resolved
Impossible to resolve dependencies of #TestWebProject;working@BLT430LT3201C
download failed: com.oracle.toplink#toplink;10.1.3!toplink.jar

Not sure if this has anything to do with above problem. I am searching http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework for all dependency info.

My project structure is

enter image description here

WEB-INF/lib directory is empty.

  • Double check content of web-inf/lib folder of your war Commented May 20, 2014 at 17:10
  • That folder is empty. Commented May 20, 2014 at 17:13
  • 1
    Then it cannot work. There shall be all jars. It is deployment issue. But I have no Ivy knowledge. Commented May 20, 2014 at 17:16

    ivy should populate the WEB-INF/lib directory in the build area. This directory should be empty in your source tree. Commented May 20, 2014 at 17:21
  • Added the directory structure of my project to the question . Commented May 20, 2014 at 17:23

Thanks a lot guys for your valuable comments. You are all right. Jar files must be in WEB-INF/lib. Or you can tell Eclipse that it can find the jars in additional location and not just WEB-INF/lib.

How do we do that?

  • Right click the project and select properties. Now go to Deployment Assembly.

enter image description here

  • Now select Add and select Java build path entries.

enter image description here

  • Ivy option is automatically populated. Select that.

enter image description here

  • And you are done.Select Apply and ok. Classnotfound Exception vanishes.
