JasperReports and creation of reports using JasperReports

Question

Hi all!
I have a problem with developing Java code for printing reports, by using JasperReports tool.
I'm trying to create report by using next peace of code (you can found it also on http://ensode.net/jasperreports_intro.html)
package myReport;
import java.util.HashMap;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JREmptyDataSource;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperCompileManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperExportManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperFillManager;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperPrint;
import net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperReport;
public class Sample
  public static void main(String[] args)
    JasperReport jasperReport;
    JasperPrint jasperPrint;
    try
    jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport("c:\\report_1.jrxml");
    jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, new HashMap(), new JREmptyDataSource());
    //JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, "c:\\simple_report.pdf");
    catch (JRException e)
      e.printStackTrace();
}I'm getting the following error:
Exception in thread main
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.commons.digester.SetNestedPropertiesRule
    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.xml.JRXmlLoader.load(JRXmlLoader.java:202)
    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.xml.JRXmlLoader.load(JRXmlLoader.java:167)
    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.xml.JRXmlLoader.load(JRXmlLoader.java:151)
    at net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JasperCompileManager.compileReport(JasperCompileManager.java:142)
    at myReport.Sample.main(Sample.java:20)BTW, file report_1.jrxml I created using iReport.
Can somebody help me how to solve this, and to create my report?
Thank you in advance!
