how to reference an external jar in jsp app?

Question

I am new to Eclipse. I am trying to run a jsp example using iText to generate a PDF, I put iText.jar file in Referense Library folder, but when I ran the jsp, I got error message that the class Document defined in the iText,jar can't not be resolved.

Answer 1

1. Add the jar in WEB-INF/lib
2. add <%@ page import="com.lowagie.itext.Document" %> (or whatever the package is) to the top of your JSP
