java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError when deploying to Glassfish application server

I have created a simple demo rest service which queries Ethereum to get basic information. I am using the Web3j library version 5.0.0 https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.web3j/core/5.0.0
I have added the library to the project using Maven. Built the project which compiles successfully and trying to debug it. I am using GlassFish 6.2.51 for my application server.
Any ideas why I am getting the below error?
[2023-02-09 11:44:19,706] Artifact demoapi:war exploded: java.io.IOException: com.sun.enterprise.admin.remote.RemoteFailureException: Error occurred during deployment: Exception while loading the app : java.lang.IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/web3j/protocol/Web3jService.

Application not deploying on Tomcat server

I am trying to run an application on tomcat server. The application was earlier running on Jboss EAP. All the configuration changes have been made in the tomcat context.xml and other application related configuration files like web.xml, etc. The only ERROR and SEVERE logs that I see when the application is being deployed are mentioned below:

I have gone through several threads but did not find any solution working for me. I have tried making version changes to jsf related jars in my pom.xml but that also doesn't help. I am currently using tomcat version 9.0.36 but have also tried TomEE 8.0.8 for the same but facing the same issue in both the cases. It would be great if someone could guide as to why this error is coming or a possible solution for the same.
