ClassNotFoundException in JSON Parsing by servlet

Question

I am new in json and I am getting a request in json object format.

       {"login_detail":[{"password":"world","username":"hello"}]}

I want to parse it by servlet and my code is as follow-

     public class LoginServlet extends HttpServlet{

protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
    response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    //String json=request.getParameter("x");
   try {
        String jsonreq=request.getParameter("x");

        System.out.println(jsonreq);



        JSONArray outerArray = (JSONArray) JSONSerializer.toJSON(jsonreq);
        JSONObject json1 = (JSONObject) outerArray.get(0);
        JSONArray jarray1 = json1.getJSONArray("login_detail");
        for (int i = 0; i < jarray1.size(); i++)
        {
          JSONObject hotel = jarray1.getJSONObject(i);
          String user = hotel.getString("pasword");
          System.out.println(user);
          String pass=hotel.getString("username");
          System.out.println(pass);
        }

        out.print(jsonreq);

    }catch(Exception e){
        System.out.println("inside exception");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    finally {            
        out.close();
    }


}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
    processRequest(request, response);
}

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
    processRequest(request, response);
}

public String getServletInfo() {
    return "Short description";
}}

But i am getting a exception

If anybody will help me i will be really thankful.

Answer 1

finally i have solve my problem see the code

 try {
       String data=request.getParameter("x");
       System.out.println("received data : "+data);
       JSONObject myjson=new JSONObject(data);
       JSONArray json_array=myjson.getJSONArray("login_detail");
       // return simple array with [] bracket
       System.out.println("json_array "+json_array);
       int size=json_array.length();
       ArrayList<JSONObject> arrays=new ArrayList<JSONObject>();
       for(int i=0;i<size;i++){
           JSONObject another_json_object=json_array.getJSONObject(i);
           arrays.add(another_json_object);
       }
       JSONObject[] jsons=new JSONObject[arrays.size()];
       arrays.toArray(jsons);
    // return simple array with [] bracket
       System.out.println("arrays :"+arrays);
    // return simple array and filter [] when we call get(index)
       System.out.println("0 index : "+arrays.get(0));
       //System.out.println("1 index : "+arrays.get(1));

       //here we are accessing value using key of the array at 0 index
       // we can do same for next index --> get(index).get("key")
       System.out.println(arrays.get(0).get("username")+"   
       "+arrays.get(0).getString("password"));

    }catch(Exception e){
        System.out.println("inside exception");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Answer 2

confirm that you liability jars had been copied to WEB-INF/lib folder... I guess so.

Answer 3

The most likely explanation is that the JAR that defines the Apache NestableRuntimeException is missing from your webapp's WAR file.

According to http://www.findjar.com, there are lots of JAR file that could supply that dependency, but the most likely one is one of the commons-lang-x.x.jar files; e.g. commons-lang-2.3.jar

If you are building your WAR file using Maven, just add the relevant dependency to the POM file. Otherwise, download the JAR by hand and add it to the "/WEB-INF/lib" directory of your WAR file.

Answer 4

You can download the Apache Commons Lang and place the jar file under /WEB-INF/lib. It should solve the problem.

Answer 5

You have to all dependency libraries, If you miss these, you will get runtime exception. You are missing org.apache.commons

btw, change hotel.getString("pasword"); to hotel.getString("password");
