i have include poi and itext lib into my bulitpath but it don't help

[nicomart]

Are you sure the itext lib is the good one ? I had exactly the same problem, adding the latest iText jar (found here : http://www.lowagie.com/iText/download.html ) to my classpath solved it.

Our folks use more than one poi jar.  Take a look at the jars we use.  You might need to add these.

 <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/SOFTWARE/Tomcat5.5/common/lib/poi-2.0-final-20040126.jar"/>
 <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/SOFTWARE/Tomcat5.5/common/lib/poi-2.5.1.jar"/>
 <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/SOFTWARE/Tomcat5.5/common/lib/poi-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar"/>
 <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/SOFTWARE/Tomcat5.5/common/lib/poi-contrib-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar"/>
 <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/SOFTWARE/Tomcat5.5/common/lib/poi-scratchpad-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar"/>
 <classpathentry kind="lib" path="C:/SOFTWARE/Tomcat5.5/common/lib/itext-2.0.0.jar"/>

I initially had trouble with this error as well.  This is how I resolved the issue;

I am presently using the JasperSoft iReport-Professional-4.0. 

I navigated to the following path;  "C:\Program Files\Jaspersoft\iReport-Professional-4.0\ireport\modules\ext"

Copied the delivered Jar Files; "iText-2.1.7.jar" and  "iTextAsian.jar" to the "lib" Folder of my Web Application Project.

Add both JARS to my Project Classpath.

Recompiled the Project into a WAR File.

And it worked successfully.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOTE: I initially atttemped adding the lastest iText JAR File to my project classpath, iText-5.0.6.jar, and I receieved the same error as before.  So this is what made me think to look at the jars being utilized by JasperReports and iText.
