java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/io/output/DeferredFileOutputStream
could you please help me to find it out?
import java.io.File;

boolean isMultipart = ServletFileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);
System.out.println("Status : "+isMultipart);
if (isMultipart) {
FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
try {
List items = upload.parseRequest(request);
Iterator iterator = items.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
FileItem item = (FileItem) iterator.next();
if (!item.isFormField()) {
String fileName = item.getName();
String root = getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
File path = new File(root + "/uploads");
if (!path.exists()) {
boolean status = path.mkdirs();
}
File uploadedFile = new File(path + "/" + fileName);
System.out.println(uploadedFile.getAbsolutePath());
item.write(uploadedFile);
}
}
} catch (FileUploadException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
response.sendRedirect("upload.jsp");
}
}
this is the jar i use commons-fileupload-1.2.2.jar
Solution
By default, Struts is using Apache “commons-io.jar” for its file upload process. To fix it, you have to include this library into your project dependency library folder.
Get “commons-io.jar” from official website – http://commons.apache.org/io/
The prefer way is get the “commons-io.jar” from Maven repository
File : pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-io</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
<version>1.4</version>
</dependency>
If you are receiving this error in a WebSphere container, then make sure you set your Apps class loading policy correctly. I had to change mine from the default to 'parent last' and also ‘Single class loader for application’ for the WAR policy. This is because in my case the commons-io*.jar was packaged with in the application, so it had to be loaded first.
You will have to download file from here https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/download_io.cgi and select https://prnt.sc/tk5ewt
Now, Next add this downloaded files into your project:
Right click to your project ->Build path->Configure BuidPath -> https://prnt.sc/tk5d93
use maven dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
<version>1.3.2</version>
</dependency>
or download commons-io.1.3.2.jar to your lib folder
just put all apache comons jar and file upload jar in lib folder of tomcat
