Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum : java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/resource/ResourceException

Has anyone encountered this error
"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/resource/ResourceException" at this line of my code " MQ_QueueManager = new MQQueueManager(qManager);"

When I try to run a java agent in Domino 6 that puts a request on a Queue on a Linux 8 server. The version of Websphere MQ is 5.2.

At the same time I am getting a java.lang.NullPointerException error at "if ( MQ_Queue.isOpen())" this line of my code.

Please forgive the length of this question.
Thanks and I look forward to your reply

My code is:
