java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.json.JSONObject

Question

I am developing a WAR project in Eclipse Mars which is running on a Tomcat 7 application server. I am also using the Java JSON API to create JSONObjects from a REST web service.I have ensured that my pom.xml file includes the JSON dependency so that the correct jar is downloaded.

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>junit</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
        <version>3.8.1</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.json</groupId>
        <artifactId>json</artifactId>
        <version>20151123</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
        <version>1.2</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.5</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.faces</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.faces-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.2</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
        <artifactId>jsf-impl</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.12</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

The jar can be seen in my project structure under

Java Resources > Libraries > Maven Dependencies > json-20151123.jar .

However, when I run my code on the server I receive the following exception.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

使用gradle和eclipse我通过在运行命令java -cp build/libs/jarFile.jar:build/libs/* projectName.mainClassName显式指定引用库的目录来解决这个问题，这是假设引用的.jar文件是在build/libs/*

You can use jackson mapper for change object to json.

<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
<version>1.9.13</version>
