  • i've configured build path of project whith jar didn't worked

  • i ve put file in folder : web-inf/lib , didn't worked

  • i ve configured classpath variable jar in eclipse ( preference ->java->buildpath->classpath variabe ) didn't worked

  • i have put jar file in tomcat library didn't work
