Beanshell java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

i wrote java code in beanshell but it throws java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError by defining DefaultHandler. I have already imported it, i don't understand why is this exception thrown. My Code looks like here:

import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
try {
        XMLReader xr = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();

        **DefaultHandler handler = new DefaultHandler() {
            variables
            .........
            methods(){
                   ..................
            }

        };**

        InputSource file = new InputSource(new StringReader(stringResult));
        xr.setContentHandler(handler);
        xr.parse(file);

} catch (Ex e) {
    .........
}

Thanks

  • I have already imported it, i don't understand why is this exception thrown.

    Importing it and having it in your CLASSPATH are two very different things. You might have had it in CLASSPATH when you compiled, but if it's not there at runtime you'll have an issue.
