Another question on servlet

As I have asked the similar question about servlet ,which is for showing a report on browser. I reconstruct a Danymic web project(named JasperServlet) using Eclipse,after creating . compiling and maping servlet(named FirstReportSendToBrowserServlet) , put the servlet into Apache Tomcat v5.5 ,after I fire up tomcat, open http://localhost:8080/JasperServlet/FR (FirstReportSendToBrowserServlet has mapped to FR in web.xml) , what I got puzzled me:

exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: Error instantiat开发者_开发技巧ing servlet class FirstReportSendToBrowserServlet org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:105) org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:148) org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:869) org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11BaseProtocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.processConnection(Http11BaseProtocol.java:664) org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint.processSocket(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:527) org.apache.tomcat.util.net.LeaderFollowerWorkerThread.runIt(LeaderFollowerWorkerThread.java:80) org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:684) java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) root cause

I have already find in Apache's bugzilla , But it seems that I can not find a similar answer. Do somebody can give hints?

You need jasper-reports.jar in your WEB-INF/lib. NoClassDefFoundError means the application expects a class to be on the classpath, but it is missing. The classpath of a web application is formed by:

• WEB-INF/classes
• WEB-INF/lib
• the container libraries
