java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider

Question

I am facing issue in configuring Bouncy Castle with my websphere. I am working on pdf document signature and it requires dependency of Bouncy Castle. I am using websphere v8.5, java 6 and bcprov-jdk15on-1.47.jar

Currently I have included this jar to my project lib and I am deploying it to WAS. So its throwing error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider.

After getting this error I have tried to configure Bouncy Castle to WAS by putting bcprov-jdk15on-1.47.jar to [WAS_HOME]/java/jre/lib/ext/ and updated java.security. After that when I am starting application server but server is not starting.

Can you please provide me guidance on this?

add this to pom.xml to overcome the following exception.

javax.servlet.ServletException: org.glassfish.jersey.server.ContainerException: 
   java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/bouncycastle/jce/provider/BouncyCastleProvider
    org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.WebComponent.serviceImpl(WebComponent.java:432)
