Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: io/jsonwebtoken/Jwts

i am using jjwt-0.9.1.jar and runtime gives this exception for jersey reset API call.

When i use this code using java main() method, its works perfectly but when i call from servlet to that class, the method throws exception.

import io.jsonwebtoken.JwtBuilder;
import io.jsonwebtoken.Jwts;
import io.jsonwebtoken.SignatureAlgorithm;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.UUID;
    public String createJWTToken() {
        String id = UUID.randomUUID().toString().replace("-", "");
        //The JWT signature algorithm we will be using to sign the token
       // SignatureAlgorithm signatureAlgorithm = SignatureAlgorithm.HS256;
        long nowMillis = System.currentTimeMillis();
        Date now = new Date(nowMillis);
        //Let's set the JWT Claims
        JwtBuilder builder = null;
        try {
            builder = Jwts.builder().setId(id).setHeaderParam("typ", "JWT")
                                        .setIssuedAt(now)
                                        .setSubject("")
                                        .setIssuer(API_KEY)
                                        .signWith(SignatureAlgorithm.HS256,SECRET_KEY.getBytes("UTF-8"));
            //if it has been specified, let's add the expiration
            if (ttlMillis >= 0) {
            long expMillis = nowMillis + ttlMillis;
                Date exp = new Date(expMillis);
                builder.setExpiration(exp);
            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return builder.compact();//Builds the JWT and serializes it to a compact, URL-safe string
    }

When call servlet to java class method i.e.createJWTToken() gives following exception in tomcat.

javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet execution threw an exception

The exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: io/jsonwebtoken/Jwts

Check the Jar file(jwt) is packaged in the build or not?
