I created a webservice using servlet and Tomcat 6.0.
I created a java project in eclipse to call that webservice using HTTP.
I added the following jar files
1. httpcore-4.0
2. httpclient-4.0
but while running the project im getting the following error.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory

You still have to add common-logging dependency under your classpath. However, you may continue encounter other simaliar Exceptions due to lack other dependency. I suggest you use maven to manage the dependency so that you don’t have to mannualy add dependencies to your classpath.
