Json:java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Question

I'm trying to use JSON in Java Web. Transform List to JSONArray by invoking JSONArray.fromObject(), I'm sure my arguments are right, but thrown the exception as following:

btw, Learning from the google answers, I have added required libs.

commons-beanutils-1.8.3.jar
commons-collections-3.2.1.jar
commons-lang3-3.1.jar
commons-logging-1.1.2.jar
ezmorph-1.0.6-sources.jar

It still doesn't work. Please help me. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Check:

http://json-lib.sourceforge.net/

You need to have commons-lang 2.5 in your classpath. At the moment you have commons-lang3-3.1.jar which does not have org.apache.commons.lang. package but has org.apache.commons.lang3. .

Add commons-lang 2.5 or 2.6 in your classpath and this will work.

Answer 2

I guess your problem is here: commons-lang3-3.1.jar . You have added commons lang version 3. Take a look on the home page of commons lang :

Note that Lang 3.0 (and subsequent versions) use a different package (org.apache.commons.lang3) than the previous versions (org.apache.commons.lang)

This means that your probably should use commons lang version 2.
