Servlet: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.json.simple.parser.ParseException

Question

I am implementing Google Cloud Messaging service for android. I have created a test server which sends push notifications to application users. But the server I have created is generating following error. I am using Java Servlet at server side and have included gcm-server.jar file in project.

Here is the log:

Any idea what's wrong with this?

I had the same problem, try adding this library:
