How import dependent jars to JWS?

Question

We are migrating from Applet to JWS. How to provide dependent jar to JWS? Kindly check my JNLP file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://localhost:8080/JWSINSTEADOFAPPLET/" href="HelloWorld.jnlp">
<information>
         <title>HelloWorld</title>
         <vendor>IBM - JWS example of HelloWorld</vendor>`
    enter code here
         <description>HelloWorld - Example of JWS</description>
         <description kind="short">HelloWorld example</description>
         <offline-allowed/>
    </information>
    <security>
    <all-permissions/>
</security>
    <resources>
     <j2se version="1.3+"/>
     <jar href="Harper_Colin.jar" main="true"/>
     <jar href="lib/commons-codec-1.10.jar"/>
     <jar href="lib/commons-httpclient-3.1.jar"/>
     <jar href="lib/commons-logging-1.2.jar"/>
     <jar href="lib/commons-net-3.3.jar"/>
     <jar href="lib/httpclient-4.0.2-sources.jar"/>
     <jar href="lib/httpclient-4.5.3.jar"/>
     <jar href="lib/httpcore-4.4.6.jar"/>
     <jar href="lib/plugin.jar"/>

      </resources>
 <application-desc main-class="Harper_Upload_Final"/>
    </jnlp>

Even if provided dependent jars under resources tab, I am getting error like below:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/client/methods/HttpUriRequest

*"Kindly check my JNLP file."* Check the JNLP using JaNeLA, available at my [share drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/#folders/0B5B9wDXIGw9lUnJaUjA2cmlVRE0). — Andrew Thompson, Mar 30 '17 at 07:33
Show the structure of the server, as it relates to all the Jars. I **suspect** this `` should actually be `` (N.B. only different by a single, very important, character). If I'm right, that should apply to the elements for all the jars in the `lib` directory. — Andrew Thompson, Mar 30 '17 at 07:36
Kindly check the Edit question which contains structure of project and let me know if any changes in structure — Lokesh, Mar 30 '17 at 09:58
Ahh. I think I see the problem. From [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/19786283/418556) *"**The WEB-INF node is not part of the public document tree of the application.** No file contained in the WEB-INF directory may be served directly to a client.."*. Try doing a direct fetch (by typing the path in your browser) for one of the Jars and report what happens. — Andrew Thompson, Mar 30 '17 at 13:09
Hi Andrew, Thanks to provide valuable answer.Now it's working fine,But i need to know how to stop multiple JNLP downloads When click on Link from Browser which contains LInk of JNLP file.Thanks in Advance. — Lokesh, Mar 31 '17 at 06:34
*"But i need to know how to stop multiple JNLP downloads When click on Link from Browser"* You'll need to ask a separate question for that. (SO is a Q&A site, not a help desk.) But be sure to clarify what you mean, which is not clear to me. Do you mean there should only be a single instance of the app. on-screen? — Andrew Thompson, Mar 31 '17 at 11:58

From this answer ..

The WEB-INF node is not part of the public document tree of the application. No file contained in the WEB-INF directory may be served directly to a client..".

Try doing a direct fetch (by typing the path in your browser) to confirm the server will deny the request.
