NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/client/methods/HttpUriRequest

Hi,

I'm looking for answer of my trouble with running JAVA application on SAP Cloud Platform.

I need help to undestand what i'm doing wrong.

I use Eclipse Oxygen.2 Release (4.7.2) as development tool. Trying to get data using org.apache.http.client.HttpClient method.

I created marven project and use the next list of libraries:

import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;

.classpath file contains :

classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/commons-codec-1.10.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/commons-logging-1.2.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/fluent-hc-4.5.5.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/httpclient-4.5.5.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/httpclient-cache-4.5.5.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/httpclient-win-4.5.5.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/httpcore-4.4.9.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/httpmime-4.5.5.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/jna-4.4.0.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/jna-platform-4.4.0.jar"/>

pom.xml file contains required dependency:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
<artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
<version>4.5.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
<artifactId>httpcore</artifactId>
<version>4.4.9</version>
</dependency>

Buildpath also contains all needed jar files:

The core logic of the application is:

  HttpClient httpClient = null;
        String destinationName = request.getParameter("destname");
        try {
            // Get HTTP destination
            Context ctx = new InitialContext();
            HttpDestination destination = null;
            if (destinationName != null) {
                DestinationFactory destinationFactory = (DestinationFactory) ctx.lookup(DestinationFactory.JNDI_NAME);
                destination = (HttpDestination) destinationFactory.getDestination(destinationName);
            } else {
          
                destinationName = "SND";
                destination = (HttpDestination) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/" +  destinationName);
            }

Build of the Marven project is successfull:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS

But when i try ot deply on the HANA Cloud Platform, server returns the error:

2018 03 14 22:10:39#+00#ERROR#org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase##anonymous#localhost-startStop-3#na#d9993445343ial#jcodemo#web##na#na#na#na#ContainerBase.addChild: start:  org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/SAPAPI]]

I read all the stack overflow articles and tried all the variants that can be googled, but none of them helped.

What I'm doing wrong and where i should define dependencies, to make my code executable.

I will be grateful for any idea.

Many thanks.

Hi Andy,

Please try to add below contents into pom.xml then try again to see if the issue could be solved.

<dependency>

<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>

<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>

<version>3.0.1</version>

<scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>
