Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

[Varnam Aayiram]

Hi Folks...

I am getting a 'Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/groovy/control/CompilationFailedException' in the following locations:

JReportManagedBean.viewReport(JReportManagedBean)

and

JRunReport.main(JRunReport)

The Source are as follow:

import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;




public class JRunReport {

    private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("JRunReport");
    
    public static void main(String[] args) throws JRException {
        logger.debug("Report String...");
        JReportManagedBean jmb = new JReportManagedBean();      
        jmb.viewReport(); //The JRunReport.main(JRunReport) error was here
               
                
    }
}

import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException;

import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperCompileManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperPrint;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperReport;
import net.sf.jasperreports.view.JasperViewer;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.data.JRBeanArrayDataSource;

public class JReportManagedBean {

    private static String reportFilePath = "Work.jrxml";
    private final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass());

    public void viewReport() throws JRException {
        try {
            JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(reportFilePath); //The JReportManagedBean.viewReport(JReportManagedBean) error was 											    //here               
            Map parameters = new HashMap();
            parameters.put("Title", "Document");
            parameters.put("Reference","a");           

            
            
            JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters);
            JasperViewer.viewReport(jasperPrint, false);
            
        } catch (JRException jre) {
            logger.debug("Exception from ManagedBean");
            throw jre;
        }
    } // end method
}

I hope someone can advise where I am going wrong, thanks.
