This is the exception that occurs when i try to instantiate a new JacksonFactory object (JacksonFactory jacksonFactory = new JacksonFactory();).What could have been the cause of this exception?How can i resolve it?

Did you include the JAR file that contains that file in your class path?

Yeah I had missed out a dependency jar file for the Json factory class.After adding it to the classpath the problem seemed to be solved.
