WebLogic 8.1 SP6 NoClassDefFoundError for jar in WEB-INF/lib dir (Solaris)

Hi,
I am getting a NoClassDefFoundError for a class that is contained in the WEB-INF/lib folder of my ear/war file.
The strange thing is that this only fails when i try to deploy to production. In UAT (also on Solaris) and in Windows (test) the exact same versions of the deployment / ear file everything seems fine and the class is accessed.
When i added the jar file to the classpath i experienced a "Unsupported major.minor version...." of this class error so i am reluctant to go down that route and anyway would rather consistent deployment between the systems.
I would REALLY appreciate any suggestions as to what might be the cause or what i could try.
Thanks,
David

Thanks for your replies. Sorry if i didn't post enough information for you...
I appear to have found the problem (i managed to recreate in Windows) but have no idea why this is occuring.
In the startManagedWebLogic.cmd file, if i specify "set JAVA_OPTIONS= xxxxxx" then the system will not pick up this one jar file. This appears to be the case even with "set JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dweblogic.attribute=value -Djava.attribute=value" which i assume is a default value as i can't remember having set it... The moment i comment out this set JAVA_OPTIONS line then the system is able to find the jar file.
(Answering your questions:
- The class in question is being referenced from another class also contained in a jar file in the WEB-INF/lib directory
- the WEB-INF is part of the WAR which is contained in the EAR which is deployed on my server)
For now i am ok but know that in a future build i am going to have to use the JAVA_OPTIONS parameter so would really appreciate any suggestions as to why this might be happening.
Thanks,
David

NoClassDefFoundError with jar in WEB-INF/lib

Hi,
I have an enterprise application running on Websphere 6. I have one external jar file in WEB-INF\lib (it's commons-lang). I am getting NoClassDefFoundError when trying to use classes in this jar file from the web app -- I thought that it was sufficient to drop the jar in \lib and then it would be picked up but obviously that is not the case.
As a workaround, I've created a shared lib on the app server for this jar, and added it to the application. This works fine, but I can't understand why is should be required.
Shouldn't it be sufficient just to put the jar file in WEB-INF\lib under the webapp?

I think Websphere 6 already includes commons-logging. So the error you are getting may be classloader confusion, which is easy to do with Websphere and hard to understand (so I may be confused here). Try not including it anywhere, not in your web app and not whatever it was you did to make it work. Restart Websphere and your web app and see what happens.

EAR has WAR has JAR in WEB-INF\lib NoClassDefFoundError

What a nightmare.
I found approximately 40 forums on this topic (and there are probably more), but noone has the definitive answer!
Here's the problem....
My servlet uses a utility class that resides in some other jar. That jar is then placed into the WEB-INF\lib directory of the WAR which in turn goes into the EAR. This is supposed to be all that is needed in order for the utility class to be found on the classpath.
In fact, if you run the war in Tomcat as a standalone WAR it does in fact find it.... its when in an EAR deloployed to app server that the problem arises.
I have had no luck with using any combination of putting the jar ANYWHERE in the EAR or WAR no matter if I specify the Class-Path: in the manifest(s) or not.
I thought maybe that I was missing some config in the application.xml or web.xml but I couldn't find anything to support that.
Maybe its dependent on the app server? I am using Orion, but the same problem can be found on J2EE RI release 1.3
Work arounds:
1. Simply put the utility jar in the lib directory of the server you're using
2. Add an ejb module to the application.xml naming the utility jar as the ejb jar. Of course this is NOT an EJB jar and error messages/warnings will appear accordingly, but on Orion at least, it will load the classes needed... hooray!!
Anyone got a definitive answer?

Jars in web-inf/lib not in classpath

 Hello,
 I am building a web application where I wish to use third party jars.
 (specifically cos.jar and log4j.jar)
 AFAIK when you place these jars in the web-inf/lib directory of your application
 they should then be included in the application classpath.
 However this does not seem to always work. I am using Weblogic 6.1, no service
 pack.
 Eventually I got it to work by adding a manifest to my EJB jar file with the classpath
 pointing to the jars and including the jars in the ear file.
 Has anyone else had any issues with this?
 Thanks,
 James


James,
 Yes, I've had troubles with WLS 6.1.2 finding the classes in my jar files
 that are stored in WEB-INF/lib when deploying as a .war file. The funny
 thing is that when I deploy to a WLS 6.1.0 running on two other machines
 (one solaris, one linux), I don't see this problem.
 My servlets all extend the webmacro WMServlet class, which is found in
 WEB-INF/lib/webmacro.jar. When deploying my web app, grems, I see the
 following behavior.
 On WLS 6.1.0 (running on solaris), the server unjars the WEB-INF/lib files into
 ".wlnotdelete/WEB-INF/_tmp_war_myserver_myserver_grems". That directory
 contains a jar file for each one in my .war files WEB-INF/lib directory.
 On WLS 6.1.2 (running on Solaris), however, the server just doesn't seem to do that.
 Instead, it creates
 ".wlnotdelete/WEB-INF/_tmp_war_myserver_myserver_grems/WEB-INF/lib". Not
 only that, but it doesn't put any of my jar files into that directory.
 Notice that it create the WEB-INF directory twice for some reason.
 Needless to say, any class which uses a class from one of those jar files
 bombs spectacularly with a ClassNotFound exception. This is extremely
 frustrating and any help would be greatly appreciated.
 Thanks,
 Bobby

Deploy problem with ejb jar in WEB-INF/lib

Please help with : StringIndexOutOfBoundsException
On WL 6.1 sp2, I have one EJB jar that deploys fine in an expanded EAR structure,
this has EJB jars and the web apps together running under a single JVM.
But when I need to deploy the Web App to a separate server & JVM, still using
WL 6.1, and leave the EJBs in another WL server I get java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.
I have about 8 ejb jars. When I put one of them in the Web-App's WEB-INF/lib directory.
I get java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when it starts up, just after/during
the extracting of classes for the standalone Web App. The exception stack trace
mentions manifest, but the manifest for the ejb jar is just standard. It doesn't
even have a Class-Path: entry, which all the others happen to have. an needs
to contain the server EJB jars.

Please help.! Problem with locating classes within Jars under WEB-INF/lib.

Hi All,
I have a problem which you guys would have faced already...Here it goes..
I'm using OC4J 10.1.3.0 and use ADF for my web page. I have a controller class which refers to JSF/ADF APIs and this class is archived as a jar file and put under WEB-INF/lib, Also, all the classes related to JSF/ADF are available under the same WEB-INF/lib folder.
When I invoke my page, the controller class is getting called but it throws NoClassDefFound Error for the ADF based class. i mean, these ADF/JSF classes are not getting found when my jar class is placed within WEB-INF/lib. However, when i extract my jar into WEB-INF/classes, it works.
I'm sure, i miss some entry for classpath somewhere. Can any one please point me to right direction...?
Thanks
Rajasekaran

Hello,
I do not have a direct answer to your question, but could you try the ClassLoader query tools to see if your classes/jar are loaded by the applications:

Can we downlod jar from WEB-INF/lib using webstart?

Hi,
Can we down jars which are in WEB-INF/lib directory
using jnlp (webstart)?

I got the basic concept of webstart.
I can download jar only if publicly accessible (It
should form a valid URL).Note an important distincion here..
1) It is possible to form valid URL's that
point to WEB-INF/lib.
2) The server should not allow access, to
that URL (any URL pointing inside WEB-INF/lib)
and should return instead the HTTP code that says
'not allowed/barred/forbidden'
There is a big difference between a[b] valid URL,
and a valid URL pointing to a forbidden resource.
But yes, you seem to understand correctly,
that the jar's for web-start cannot be loaded
back to the client, from this directory.
Thanks for your help.You're welcome.

Working with tag-library which is packed in WEB-INF\lib\jar-file.jar:

Hi,
When importing a webworks war file, which contains default taglib.tld in the webworks.jar which is packed in /Web-Inf/lib/webworks.2.1.7.jar the war file.
I am getting following error while running the jsp.
Error(6): duplicated tag definitions within the same TLD: text
Error(6): java.lang.NullPointerException
Error(6): Unable to load taghandler class: /webwork
Line which points to Errors is "<%@ taglib prefix="ww" uri="/webwork" %>"
But, There is a taglib.tld in /Web-Inf/lib/webworks.2.1.7.jar!\meta-inf\tablib.tld
which mentions uri as
<taglib>
<tlib-version>2.2.1</tlib-version>
<jsp-version>1.2</jsp-version>
<short-name>WebWork Taglib</short-name>
<uri>/webwork</uri>
</taglib>
But, There is no following entry for '/webwork' (uri) in web.xml
Same war is working fine in tomcat webserver.
Can anybody explain me how to work with this kind of a setup, where taglib is packed in some jar which is packed in Web-Inf/lib dir.
Thanks,
Siva

I found the problem. The web-app was finding the class in the APP-INf/lib. But the problem was being caused due to a reference to another class that was being loaded by the webapp classloader which was not visible to the class inside the common jar. The solution was to make sure both classes were being loaded by one class loader.
Thanks anyway

Jars extracted from WEB-INF/lib in JDev 9.0.3

I have a project for a Web application with Struts and I've built a deployment profile for it. When I deploy to WAR or EAR the generated WAR contains the jars from <HTML Source>/WEB-INF/lib folder as extracted classes in the WEB-INF/classes folder and jars in WEB-INF/lib as well. I want to do something so that the jars will be included just as jars and not extracted.
Thanks for help.

I put the jars in the deployment profile in the "WAR File" option from deployment profile descriptor.
When the jars were defined in a separate library entry for my project I put them through "WEB-INF/lib" link under "WAR File" option. Both ways it did the same.
I gave up this and I am using ant but I would like to know if it is possible to do it with deployment descriptor.

Hi All,
 
 
 My application was working fine on weblogic7. Recently i have installed weblogic8.1 SP4. We are using managed weblogic servers. I got noclassdeffounderror for a class on the deployment of the application or on the start one of the servers.
 
 
 Strange thing is that the class it is complaining is there in the jar and the jar is there in the classpath which it displays along with the error.
 
 
 I dont know why its not picking up that class. I verifed the classpath by setting it on command line and then tried to use that particular class and it was working.
 
 
 I also tried to put the particular class in web-inf/classes directory and to my surprise it is also not working. still it is giving the same error. Then I tried to put the jar in the web-inf/lib but even in this case also i got the same error.
 
 
 Is there something wrong in the setup/configuration of the server?? or is it anyway related to the environment(like xp,2000,environment variables etc) where the server is installed?? or is weblogic8.1 has some problem in picking classes form classpath or web-inf/classes/ for some particular cases??
 
 
 Anybody has any idea why weblogic8.1 is behaving this way??

Jar file in web-inf\lib is not being loaded - weblogic 7.0

I am callling a webservice from a jsp. everything works fine if I keep the interface
classes under web-inf\classes....but If I put the interface classes in a jar file
and put it under web-inf\lib, then weblogic does not seem to find that....
I am getting following error :

I wrote up a simple test case for this and it works fine for me.
I suppose there are diffences. ;)
I am using:
WebLogic Server 7.0 SP1 Mon Sep 9 22:46:58 PDT 2002 206753
Take the attached zip, unzip.
cd to directory
ant build
then deploy it via the console, or
java weblogic.Deployer -adminurl t3://127.0.0.1:7001 -user weblogic -password
weblogic -activate -name mywebapp2 -source e:/weblogic/dev/sandbox/griffith/apps/output/exploded_mywebapp_lib/
Then:
http://c863775-d:7001/exploded_mywebapp_lib/frobber
works for me. My servlet implments an interface in the jar in my lib dir.
Cheers

Weblogic Server not picking the jar files in WEB-INF/lib folder

we are facing a strange problem where Weblogic App Server is not picking the jar files present inside the WEB-INF/lib folder if we update the jar file path in the classpath of the start script then the classes get loaded properly.
Is there any specific setting which I need to do in weblogic to pick these jars ?

Class loaders associated with a Web application can be configured to locate local classes first. To enable this we have to set the <prefer-web-inf-classes> to true in the deployment override weblogic.xml, for example
<container-descriptor>
<prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes>
</container-descriptor>

Hello everybody:
I check weblogic 10.3.1 in %WLS_PAHT%/modules find com.bea.core.apache.commons.lang_2.1.0.jar.
But I want using org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateUtils.addDays(java.util.Date date, int amount).
In server version,no this method
So I download commons-lang 2.4 from apache,and put it in WEB-INF/lib.
and I aslo setting this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<%=DateFormatUtils.format(DateUtils.addDays(new Date(),2),"yyyyMMdd HHmm")%>
</body>
this result :
The method addDays(Date, int) is undefined for the type DateUtils
