Handler dispatch failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/client/HttpClient

enter image description here

I have try to hit API then this type of error is occurs - org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Handler dispatch failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/client/HttpClient

Solution

  • NoClassDefFoundError means that the class was available while compiling but not able to find the definition at run time. Try by upgrading your httpclient depedency, 

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
    <artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
    <version>4.5.3</version>
</dependency>

    And then run clean install
