Help required!! Java WebService

Question

Hello everyone.
I'm working in JAVA making a WebService using Netbeans IDE. The purpose of webservice is to call an API of another application to do some work. Now that application is installed in another server not on my local system. I am provided with a class file (input.class) to access that JAVA API of application.
Now my problem starts here that i downloaded that class file in my local system but i don't have that whole application. So i developed my webservice included that class too and build my webservice without any problem. Now when i deployed webservice at the server and tested it gives some errors.
javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: input
com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.WebComponent.service(WebComponent.java:371)
com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer.service(ServletContainer.java:452)
com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer.service(ServletContainer.java:633)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717)
I googled and found out to be classpath problem, but i set classpath too the same path from where i downloaded that class in application folder. but still its giving the same error. can anybody help me in this. ???????

Bottom line is that it cannot find your input.class. You need to make sure that whatever package that class has is in the same package as you place it.
So if the input.class was compiled with a package of com.mydomain.myproject, you need to put it in that folder structure.
