[Solved] Linux: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/LoggerFactory


  • Discourse touched me in a no-no place

    My google-fu isn't helping here, and I'm inexperienced in the intricacies of java.

    I'm trying to run SvnFeeder (link only for those interested - I don't think it's relevant to my ignorance) - a Java application (the fact that it's a required hack is a WTF that can wait for another day.)

    That apparently requires slf4j. Which I've tried to point it at but without luck.

    Platform is Linux - specifically Centos 5.11 if that matters. I've upgraded java from 1.6 to 1.7 (another requirement by SvnFeeder :rolleyes: ) and that part appears to have been successful.

    All the search results I've seen so far have indicated that the jar files for slf4j need to be in the CLASSPATH/-classpath/-cp. So I downloaded the file from here, and read the documentation here and I'm none the wiser.

    What am I doing wrong here?

    Context:

    Extract the slf4j jar somewhere and check that class is actually in it?

    From:

    When you specify -jar then the -cp parameter will be ignored.

    From the documentation:

    When you use this option, the JAR file is the source of all user classes, and other user class path settings are ignored.
    You also cannot "include" needed jar files into another jar file (you would need to extract their contents and put the .class files into your jar file)

    You have two options:

    include all jar files from the lib directory into the manifest (you can use relative paths there)
    Specify everything (including your jar) on the commandline using -cp:
    java -cp MyJar.jar:lib/* com.somepackage.subpackage.Main

    Ok - I think I can probably get it sorted from here. Just need to find StringUtils... :rolleyes:



  • If I were you, I would create a lib folder and put all the JARs there, then, with Java7 you can:

  • Yeah, sorry about that... anyway, did they package that crap without the dependencies? That's so stupid!

    NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/lang3/StringUtils

    At least Java "stupid" package naming conventions are helpful in this cases.

    I'd contact them and ask them if they have a list of dependencies. Otherwise:



  • Good luck with finding all dependencies and specific versions


  • ♿ (Parody)

    Another thought...this looks like a Jira plugin or something. SvnFeeder is an extra. Did the main thing (SVN Gateway) come with a bunch of jars? Maybe add its lib dir to your classpath?



  • That's a good point, maybe it's not meant to be used as a standalone thing but added to your JIRA install.


  • ♿ (Parody)

    They might assume that you already have $CLASSPATH pointed somewhere as part of installation.

    Fuck knows. I was just given the .jar and told to get it working.

    The situation is we have an internally accessible only (via VPN) SVN server, and an externally hosted JIRA instance.

    This .jar file is (IMO) a hack that sits within the VPN on the SVN server with read-only access to the repository and pumps out logs to the external JIRA host.

    Or it would if I can get it working..


    Of course, if this SVN stuff could handle svn+ssh I think none of this shit would be necessary.

    Not as far as the classloader cares, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't have crashed later if it was the wrong version.

    I would talk to the guy who installed the JIRA plugin since it sounds like they're on different machines.


  • Discourse touched me in a no-no place

    @boomzilla said:

    They are. That's what this .jar file is trying to mitigate - JIRA an/or this SVN module running on the JIRA instance doesn't (and will not) have direct access into the SVN server. So this little hack sits on the SVN server and talks out to JIRA.

    I would talk to the guy who installed the JIRA plugin

    That went well.

    Anyway - I'm onto my next dependancy...


  • Discourse touched me in a no-no place

    Fixed. Or my bit of it is...

    Solution:

    mkdir ~/lib
    # put SvnFeeder.jar in /lib
    cd /tmp
    wget http://www.slf4j.org/dist/slf4j-1.7.10.tar.gz
    tar -xf slf4j-1.7.10.tar.gz

    That's a helluvalotof effort.

    If only there was a way to distribute software in a way that automatically handled dependencies… maybe built around the concept of a package… but nah, that's just crazy talk.


  • BINNED

    To be fair, that might not work in this specific case anyway. We're talking CentOS 5, who knows what state the repos are in. Can you even get Java 1.7 from it? Let alone other dependencies?


  • Discourse touched me in a no-no place

    To be fair it seems like it's supposed to be used in an environment where the dependencies are likely already present.

    Dependency hunting is a pain, especially when it's proprietary stuff so you can't just quickly Google the class name to see where it lives.

    Also, our servers don't have internet access so something that automatically goes and fetches dependencies wouldn't really help anyway.


  • ♿ (Parody)

    The SvnFeeder thing is a proprietary thing. I'll bet it came with the plugin, and they expect you to run it on the machine with the plugin, where classpaths and dependencies are taken care of.

    With java, you'd use maven to get all the things.

    Well, you do it on a machine that does have access and then deploy to the server.


  • Discourse touched me in a no-no place

    The servers are Solaris SPARC, the machines with internet access are Windows desktops. I'm not aware of a solution that'd suit that.

    Either way, for the like twice a year we need to do it, manually downloading things is fine.

    Fair point.

    Like I said, it comes up so rarely that I've never really thought about it.

    11 years ago.

    In other news, someone has found a zip file with all the dependencies in... just as well I hadn't got that fa...

    Oh.

    Correct. Those people aren't still stuck with Weblogic Server 8.1 though, which simply will not boot on anything newer than 1.4.2.

    Unsurprisingly, that application is up for replacement "soon".

    So, in more surprising, less WTFy, news - this program is actually doing what it says on the tin without too much (other) tinkering.

    Being told to set it to transfer 2½ years of individual svn log -vr$REV (17K entries) on the other hand....



  • @loopback0 said:

    If for replacement you mean totally replace, then good. If you mean, migrate it to a newer AS/JVM, then you're pretty fucked up. I did something similar 5 years ago, from WS8.1 to Jboss 5 (or 6?) and from 1.4.2 to 1.6 and it was a painful experience which I still use as an example during job interviews of my skills and temperance in a project destined to fail.



  • Don't tell me that. I'm going to have to go through this hurt soonish as our office has decided that Oracle App Server isn't good enough for our app any more.

    You know, at some point I should write up some of the WTFs from this project.



  • Hahaha!!! I've been in too many migration projects of J2EE/JEE applications and they never work as expected and some very weird bugs happen, specially if they are using different JVM's (WL used JRockit which managed memory differently than HotSpot). Add to the mix a JVM version change and you're pretty much into 6 months of debugging and ripping your eyes off.

    Ohoh! And if the applications are using specific libraries from the AS (say for JMS) then you're more fucked up. Also add some class loading issues and well, the pain...


  • Discourse touched me in a no-no place

    Yeah - replace the whole stack. Migrate nothing application-wise.

    I've migrated from JBoss 4 to 5 to 7 (really, EAP6) and Java 6 to 7. The JVM wasn't a big deal, but JBoss (and Seam and Richfaces) was terrible.

    Did I mention the other reason we want to switch to a different appserver is that we're having issues with the one we have now?

    Anyway, some of the WTFs we're running into while preparing to move between ASes are our own fault.

    I mentioned in another topic that we're dealing with Oracle Types on the DB side. Java/JDBC has a way of mapping those to Java objects that implement the SQLData interface, so we have a large mapping of DB types to Java types that we register in the same method we use to grab connections from the connection pool. It may not be perfect (read: breaks horribly if the order of fields changes on Oracle's side), but at the moment it works.

    Some of the types on the Oracle side are just arrays of another type. This is good because it means we don't have to manually serialize/unserialize oracle.sql.ARRAY.ARRAY types.

    Unfortunately, one of our devs didn't get the memo. Instead, they manually created an Oracle ARRAY object in code from an OracleConnection object (and oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor).

    Fun fact: While some appservers (such as Oracle App Server) return the database's connection object directly, other appservers wrap it in their own connection type. Which means as soon as you try to cast the wrapped connection to an OracleConnection, you get a ClassCastException.

    This is one of those cases where doing it in the documented way would have bypassed this entire issue.
