Add the jar file to your WEB-INF/lib folder. Right-click your project in Eclipse, and go to "Build Path > Configure Build Path" Add the "Web App Libraries" library This will ensure all WEB-INF/lib jars are included on the classpath. helped me..

Drag and drop in WEB-INF/lib folder and restart eclipse ans start webservice then create client

In case this helps anyone, if you are using a Git repo, make sure the jars make it into the WEB-INF/lib INSIDE the git repo and not just in the project WEB-INF/lib

From the ToolBar to go Project> Properties>Java Build Path > Add External Jars. Locate the File on the local disk or web Directory and Click Open.

This will automatically add the required Jar files to the Library.

Check under project properties -> deployment assembly if jar file are under deployed path- WEB-INF/lib if not use add button and add jar under WEB-INF/lib

sometime eclipse (in my case Juno Service Release 2 ) was not doing it for me so i did manually. this worked for me.

Pasting the jar files in WebContent\WEB-INF\lib via the file system was the only way it worked for me.

They then appeared under the Deployed Resources and WebContent lib sub-folders.

When I looked, the build path had the jars in the Web App Libraries and everything built and ran fine.

Found a solution. This problem happens, when you import a project.

The solution is simple

  1. Right click -> Properties
  2. Project Facets -> Check Dyanmic Web Module and Java Version
  3. Apply Setting.

Now you should see the web app libraries showing your jars added.

  • Add the jar file to your WEB-INF/lib folder.

  • Add the "Web App Libraries" library

This will ensure all WEB-INF/lib jars are included on the classpath.

They are automatically added to the project classpath if its a web project. Sometimes it does not work properly, a refresh or close/open of the project helps.

if its not a web project you can right click on the library and go to "Build Path" -> "Add to Build Path"
