I’ve just recently started a new J2EE Project using MyEclipse and I’m having a strange problem with the J2EE libraries.

I have a JUnit test case, running a test of a filter class. I’m using a Mock implementation of the HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse. When I try to run the JUnit test case (using the “Run” button), I get the following error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest

The code compiles correctly. The Run configuration is based on the same classpath as the build class path, and yet, for some reason, JUnit isn’t able to see the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest class (which lives in the J2EE library from MyEclipse).

Have you seen anything like this before? I am using Eclipse 3.0M8 and MyEclipse _030702, and (a few months ago) when I was running Eclipse 2.1.1 and much earlier version of MyEclipse, this all worked just fine.

Oh, that looks right. So if I read it right, this’ll be fixed in your next version?

Based on the description of the problem, then, the obvious thing for me to do is to add the j2ee.jar separately to my classpath and not rely on the one in MyEclipse until next release… (and, hey, that works! Cool!).

Thanks bunches,
BC

Awesome, we like it when workarounds work 😀

Thanks! Our support crew really values the time of our users, and we know that when our users are hung up on something, that means they are just sitting waiting for a reply (Which can be VERY frustrating if it takes days to get one).
