generate pdf in servlet using itext library

[shihad_s]

Hi,
When i use itext library to generate pdf in servlet, i got an exception.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/lowagie/text/DocumentException

---------------------------------------------------------------------
I added the itext jar files. Still i am getting the same exception. Any one please Help Me..

My servlet code is added below:

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

response.setContentType("application/pdf");


Document document = new Document();
try{
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, response.getOutputStream());
document.open();


PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
table.addCell("1");
table.addCell("2");
table.addCell("3");
table.addCell("4");
table.addCell("5");
table.addCell("6");


document.add(table);
document.close();
}catch(DocumentException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}

}

Is the jar on the Runtime classpath?
In other words, is it in your WEB-INF/lib directory when deployed to the server?

Tolls already hit the nail on the head. No more reason.
