@Satish Kumbhar​ :

The java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError error typically occurs when a class that was present during compilation is not available at runtime.

Here are some possible solutions to try:

  1. Make sure that all required dependencies are included in your jar file and that they are properly configured. You may need to update your build file to ensure that all required dependencies are included in the jar file.
  2. Check the version compatibility of the dependencies. It's possible that the dependencies used in your code are not compatible with each other. Try updating the dependencies to ensure that they are all compatible with each other.
  3. Check if there are any conflicts between the dependencies. If multiple dependencies have the same class or package, it can cause conflicts and result in the
  4. NoClassDefFoundError error. You can try excluding the problematic dependency from the build or resolving the conflict by using a different version of the dependency.
  5. Check if the classpath is properly set up in your environment. Make sure that all the required dependencies and jars are included in the classpath.
  6. Try running your code with verbose logging to see if there are any additional error messages that can help diagnose the issue.

Hopefully one of these solutions will help you resolve the issue.
