How are you setting up your project? I usually fetch all the files necessary for the examples from SVN: svn checkout http://svn.code.sf.net/p/itext/code/book book Then I use the Maven plug-in for Eclipse to import the project based on the pom.xml file. This downloads all the jars you need from the Central Maven Repository. Once this is done, everything works automagically. If there's a problem with the HyperSQL database, you need to use "Occam's Razor" and take away all the code that isn't relevant to the problem. That's what the DatabaseTest example is about: it doesn't involve iText. It just executes a simple query that results in a list of countries. If this doesn't work, the problem isn't related to iText. Instead it's a simple HyperSQL configuration problem. The same goes for building iText from the source. You can indeed get ClassNotFoundException when compiling if you don't have the necessary jars (for instance the PdfPKCS7 class will only compile if you have the correct BouncyCastle jars). The pom.xml file has all the information you need to build your project manually, but obviously, the POM file also eliminates the need to do any manual work. It's only a matter of letting Maven doing the heavy lifting for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
