Deployment exception while creating a webservice on Java, using Axis2

Question

i wrote a program in java that consumes a webservice, now i'm trying to put it into another webservice using eclipse, Axis 2 and Tomcat7.

The original program runs perfectly, so i think it should work in a webservice, although i'm not sure (i'm new to webservices). I'm getting this deployment exception:

i tried to manually download a jar that contains javax.ws.rs.Produces and importing but the problem persists...

¿could you help me?

Thanks in advance.

You need to keep that particular jar in the lib folder. Issue is at runtime , server couldn't identify specific library.
