I tried to resolve it, I updated my spring and jdk versions thinking it might be the reason but they all resulted in the same above exception.

Please see https://docs.spring.io/spring-native/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/. It says
Spring Native 0.10.2 only supports Spring Boot 2.5.3, so change the version if necessary.
If you are running an older version of spring boot than 2.5.3, please try to upgrade and see if that helps.
See https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter-parent for a list of available versions of spring boot.

ClassNotFoundException jdk.net.* in Wildfly

My app just started blowing up on startup after upgrading to latest MongoDB drivers. Using Wildfly 19, JDK14, and I've confirmed that at compile time jdk.net.* are available. Clearly they're either not making it into the runtime environment or there is a security issue. My guess is that the module is being blocked, but I've not been able to figure out how to get access to it.

Figured it out. In the Wildfly standalone.xml file add
<global-modules>
<module name="jdk.net" slot="main" />
</global-modules>
inside of the block

Using Wildfly 10.1, JDK 8. Adding the following block to the file jboss-deployment-structure.xml inside the dependencies section solved the problem.
<system export="true">
<paths>
<path name="jdk/net"/>
</paths>

Cannot deploy application with JSF 1.2 on Weblogic 12c

I have an application that uses JSF 1.2 (Mojarra implementation) and is working fine on Weblogic 10.3.6. Now we are trying to migrate it to Weblogic 12c. We followed the recommendations specified here but it still generates a strange error on deployment:

Any idea? I cannot upgrade the JSF version for the moment.
All JSF 1.2 related jars are included in the EAR deployed (in APP-INF/lib). The weblogic-application.xml contains the proper configuration:
<wls:prefer-application-packages>
<wls:package-name>org.hibernate.*</wls:package-name>
<wls:package-name>antlr.*</wls:package-name>
<wls:package-name>org.springframework.*</wls:package-name>
<wls:package-name>org.apache.commons.net.*</wls:package-name>
<wls:package-name>javax.faces.*</wls:package-name>
<wls:package-name>com.sun.faces.*</wls:package-name>
<wls:package-name>com.bea.faces.*</wls:package-name>
</wls:prefer-application-packages>
<wls:prefer-application-resources>
<wls:resource-name>javax.faces.*</wls:resource-name>
<wls:resource-name>com.sun.faces.*</wls:resource-name>
<wls:resource-name>com.bea.faces.*</wls:resource-name>
<wls:resource-name>META-INF/services/javax.servlet.ServletContainerInitializer</wls:resource-name>
</wls:prefer-application-resources>
What I concluded so far from the error is that the configurations to use JSF 1.2 worked (the class is complaining about is not in JSF 1.2) but I cannot find what who is looking for this class and why (in the code is not used anywhere, obviously since the code is 1.2 compliant)

<dependency>

<artifactId>datanucleus-api-jdo</artifactId>
<version>5.0.3</version>
</dependency>
The weird thing is that this only happens when I use my code through the jar, when I run it from eclipse, the thing works perfectly.
I double checked through "jar tf" and the jar that I run does contain the "datanucleus-api-jdo-5.0.3.jar".
I've searched for conflicts in my dependency hierarchy and there is one dependency that also use an older version of the "datanucleus-api-jdo", but it's omitted for conflict according to eclipse and excluding it does not solve the problem
Not sure if that helps but the run configuration within eclipse is "clean package spring-boot:run".
Any ideas of what is causing this?
If you think any information is missing please ask

Extending Mark Bramnik answer, It does look like you don't have logback, which is pretty weird because spring-boot-starter-web have a dependency on spring-boot-starter-logging. Just try to add spring-boot-starter-logging to your POM file

It looks like you're trying to use a logback logging implementation but don't have a logback jar in the classpath:
Please try adding something like this (depending on Spring Boot version there can be another actual version of logback dependency)
<dependency>
<groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
<artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
<version>1.1.11</version>
</dependency>
Then you'll probably want to configure loggers, appenders and so forth. For more information about logging in spring boot read a chapter from official Spring Boot documentation.

Apparently I had a broken jar in the classpath, after removing everything from .m2 and updating it worked.

This worked for me, though not very intelligent: Deleted the ch folder from within .m2 folder, and did a Run > 'Maven install' from Eclipse.

Spring boot application is expecting logback classic dependency.Since its unable to find the logback-classic jar in classpath its throwing an error
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ch/qos/logback/classic/turbo/TurboFilter.
After adding the below dependency application started without any issues.
<dependency>
<groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
<artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
<version>1.1.11</version>
</dependency>

Removing everything from maven repo and updating project in eclipse worked for me.

Deleting ch folder in .m2 directory and update maven project in eclipse project helps me in fixing this issue.

<dependency>
<groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
<artifactId>logback-core</artifactId>
<!-- <version>${logback.version}</version> -->
</dependency>
Adding this logback explicitly, solved the issue in my case.

For us java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.JoranConfigurator meant "I had excluded spring-boot-starter-logging but needed to add spring-boot-starter-log4j2" or something like that, apparently.
working pom:
<build>
<dependencies>
<dependency><groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId><artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j2</artifactId></dependency>
<dependency>
...something internal
<exclusions>
<exclusion><groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId><artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId></exclusion>
</exclusions>
According to https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.x/reference/html/howto-logging.html if you want to use log4j instead of logback you're supposed to "exclude" spring-boot-starter-logging so I guess the pattern of having to reject it from every dependency apps isn't too far off. Kind of weird though...
So maybe what happened was if you "just exclude" Maybe they were still bringing in "just logback" (without joran) as a separate dependency, which confused spring boot?
