Hi, I am using trail version of MyEclipse Blue.
I have deployed a web application in Web sphere 7.0 via My eclipse.
application requires an external jar which i placed in …\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer1\lib

While running the application i am getting class not found exception
Exception is ;java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver

I placed the correct jar only.

I am not sure the place i have kept the jar is correct. I need to know how to add external jars which are required during run time of the application.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

sangeethaD,

1) You can add the jar to the java build path. Here is a thread which outlines the methods in Eclipse. Follow the same for MyEclipse :
http://www.wikihow.com/Add-JARs-to-Project-Build-Paths-in-Eclipse-%28Java%29

2) You can also add the one or more external jars as dependent java project to your EAR. Here is a thread which discusses it.

3) If you want to add the jar to the Websphere path then have a look at this thread :

Let me know how this works for you.
