java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/Session hibernate jars is set

Question

I inherited several projects Javas in my new job, but I'm having some problems with settings. I'm facing a problem that is researched so common. "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org / hibernate / Session", put all the jars even unnecessary hibernate are mapped in the classpath.

Im using tomcat 7, hirbernat 4, jre7.

every project extends compnet that have all necessary jars in lib folder.

do i need to put those already mapped jars in this project ?

The erro is catch here:

    @Override
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
    super.init(config);
    HibernateUtil.currentSession();
}

classpath:

EDIT:

ClassPath of my project:

Answer 1

To add jars in eclipse you have two options:

Right click on project got to properties-->click on java build path --> configure build path--> Libraries --> and select add external jars button. It will open a window where you can add all your jars required.

Second option is to paste jars directly to lib folder. lib folder is in Web Content --> WEB-INF --> lib.

Use any one of them.

Answer 2

Add all the JARS to WEB-INF and perform build path on project.

Answer 3

From what I understand the classpath xml you provided is used by Eclipse, it has nothing to do with your web application classpath. The reason you get an NoClassDefFoundError is Tomcat not being able to find Hibernate class. Make sure your Web Module has all required jars in WEB-INF/lib directory.
