Question

I am trying to run a simple j2ee application where in it takes pdf file and convert to text.

However, I am getting below error while extracting text from pdf using apache TIKA.

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [UploadServlet] in context with path [/DocIdentification] threw exception [Servlet execution threw an exception] with root cause

When I run as simple java program it works without any issue.

Find out which JAR file the missing class is in, then add that JAR to the correct lib folder within the tomcat server that you're using. — Eric, Feb 16 '17 at 12:18
I believe that we shouldn't generate such family of questions for each possible `ClassNotFoundException` situation — Andremoniy, Feb 16 '17 at 12:21
