iText problem

[exel]

Hello,

I am having problems with iText .
iText is a library that allows you to generate PDF files in Java.
I looked through some examples on the site and I am having troubles with this:

<%@
page import="java.io.*,
			 com.lowagie.text.*,
			 com.lowagie.text.pdf.*"
%><%
//
// Template JSP file for iText
// by Tal Liron
//

response.setContentType( "application/pdf" );

// step 1: creation of a document-object
Document document = new Document();

// step 2:
// we create a writer that listens to the document
// and directs a PDF-stream to a temporary buffer

ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfWriter.getInstance( document, buffer );

// step 3: we open the document
document.open();

// step 4: we add a paragraph to the document
document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World"));

// step 5: we close the document
document.close();

// step 6: we output the writer as bytes to the response output
DataOutput output = new DataOutputStream( response.getOutputStream() );
byte[] bytes = buffer.toByteArray();
response.setContentLength(bytes.length);
for( int i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++ ) { output.writeByte( bytes[i] ); }
%>

I have Tomcat 5.5 installed and whenever I run this jsp program,
I am getting a few errors that are saying:

"An error occurred at line: 5 in the jsp file: /helloPDF.jsp
Generated servlet error:
Document cannot be resolved to a type"

I think the errors are generated because it can't find
com.lowagie.text.* and com.lowagie.text.pdf.*

I placed the .jsp file inside C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\ROOT folder
but where should I place com.lowagie.text.* and com.lowagie.text.pdf.* ?

Thanks,

You should place your libraries in WEB-INF/libs or TOMCAT_HOME/shared/libs

You should place your libraries in WEB-INF/libs or TOMCAT_HOME/shared/libs

After I place the library in WEB-INF/libs, I get this error:

ExceptionConverter: java.io.IOException: The document has no pages.

JSP is frustrating
