Get the java-json.jar form here and add it to WEB-INF/lib it will work.

@Yagnesh: Yes I was trying that only.. But could not because of the comment adding rules. So had to post as answer.

It was not only about missing class but the jar itself. Did you check whether that jar is available or not? And if it is, it is being referenced correctly. Also check the logs if you are getting any other clue.

Chidi Over a year ago

working with Gradle and eclipse, worked around this problem by specifying class path for the referenced libraries in the run command: java -cp build/libs/nameofjarFile.jar:build/libs/* projectName.className this is assuming all the referenced .jar files are in build/libs/
