NoClassDefFoundError: org/json/JSONException on startup

[Vance Karimi]

When I run the start-datafari.bat, I get the following exception at the prompt:

PS C:\Datafari\bin> .\start-datafari.bat

PS C:\Datafari\bin>

Not sure what impact this has on functionality.

The json-20090211.jar which contains org.json.JSONException class exists in C:\Datafari\mcf\mcf_home\lib. 

I tried putting this lib into C:\Datafari\tomcat\lib but it has no effect.

Why doesn't this library exist in the classpath?

Any thoughts?

Hi Vance,

considering how old this question is (Datafari 1.0 already !), can we consider your question as deprecated ? Such errors should not appear any more in the recent versions of Datafari.

Regards,

Cedric
