ERROR: Failed to start i2ptunnel java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: jakarta/servlet/ServletException about i2p.i2p

Hi, I was facing the same issue and managed to find a fix, it's just that you need to install libjakarta-servelet-api-java package using apt. Then find the jakarta jar file and copy it to i2p lib directory. While doing this make sure your i2prouter is not running. Once the said jar file is copied, start your i2prouter instance. This should fix the issue. If you still need help sorting this issue, I'm happy to share a bash script. Enjoy privacy, do good stuff. ✌🏻

Issue resolved by manually installing jakarta-servlet-api, and adding jar to i2p lib folder, as suggested by @themonk14

[themonk14]

#!/bin/bash

sudo apt install -y libjakarta-servlet-api-java

#this is optional
#if you can't locate jakarta-servlet-api-5.0.0.jar then use the following command to find it
#find / -name jakarta-servlet-api-5.0.0.jar 2>/dev/null

sudo cp /usr/share/java/jakarta-servlet-api-5.0.0.jar /usr/share/i2p/lib/
