[SOLVED] NoClassDefFoundError for ObjectifyService when using Objectify with GAE

I have added objectify-5.1.5-sources.jar to my GAE project under WEB-INF\lib and I have modified the web.xml file as

...
<!-- objectify filter -->
    <filter>
        <filter-name>ObjectifyFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>com.googlecode.objectify.ObjectifyFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>ObjectifyFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
...

But when I deploy to app-engine I get the following error

Uncaught exception from servlet

My GAE is 1.9.18

update: more of error trace after changing jar to objectify-5.1.5.jar
