Java-Selenium- Unable to find an exact match for CDP version 98, so returning the closest version found: 97

I have created a maven project for taking a screenshot from the webpage URL which I have given in my code. I am using chrome driver version 98 and selenium version 4.1.2. I'm getting a warning message with the CDP versions when running my code.
Here is my code.
TakeScreenshot.java
public class Takescreenshot
{
private static final File SrcnewFile = null;
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
{
WebDriver driver ;
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().clearCache();
//System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\drivers/chromedriver.exe");
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.amazon.in/");
TakesScreenshot scrShot =((TakesScreenshot)driver);
File SrcFile=scrShot.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
if(null!=null)
{
File DestFile=new File("c:test/test1.png");
FileUtils.copyFile(SrcFile, DestFile);
FileUtils.getFile(SrcnewFile, ("c://test1.png"));
driver.quit();
}
}
}
When I try to run my program the following error shows up.
Starting ChromeDriver 98.0.4758.80 (7f0488e8ba0d8e019187c6325a16c29d9b7f4989-refs/branch-heads/4758#{#972}) on port 58811
Only local connections are allowed.
Please see https://chromedriver.chromium.org/security-considerations for suggestions on keeping ChromeDriver safe.

When I run the java program the chrome browser will open and the page is loaded, but the screenshot of the page is not generating and couldn't be saved in the local machine. Could anyone please help me to resolve it?

Please using following code:
TakesScreenshot scrShot =((TakesScreenshot)driver);
File srcFile = scrShot.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
if(srcFile != null)
{
File saveFileName = new File("test1.png");
FileHandler.copy(srcFile, saveFileName);
}

Maven Project Hibernate, MySQL connection problem

I am using Intelij idea and I am tying to make a simple connection with MySQL database with hibernate following a YouTube video.

I tried to find a solution for my problem online but I didnt find something to apply to my problem.

My problem was with the MySQL dependency I changed it to version 8.0.16 and worked.

I had this problem today too, I upgraded the package of mysql-connector-java for 8.0.23 and it worked fine.

Spring AOP pointcut expression method with 0 or more argument of any type throws java.lang.NullPointerException

I'm following a tutorial where I'm trying to use a Spring AOP pointcut expression method that accepts 0 or more arguments of any type but I'm getting a java.lang.NullPointerException.
I am using Spring MVC and maven along with eclipse.
Everything is working fine if I use:
#Before("execution(* add*())")
or
#Before("execution(* add*(*))")
or
#Before("execution(* add*(boolean,..))")
but the moment I use ".." alone
#Before("execution(* add*(..))")
to mean that I want that the pointcut expression matches a method with 0 or more arguments of any type, when I try to access to my view using the following URL: http://localhost:8080/springaopdemo/main/test
I get HTTP Status 500 - Internal Server Error
and in my eclipse console log, I get the following error:
Thank you in advance for your help

Here is the definition of the Aspect:
package com.luv2code.aopdemo.aspect;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Before;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
#Aspect
#Component
public class MyDemoLoggingAspect {
#Before("execution(* add*(..))")
public void beforeAddAccountAdvice() {
System.out.println("\n======>>> Executing #Before advice on method");
}
}
Here is a definition of one of the classes that has a method on which #Before advice is supposed to be applied:
package com.luv2code.aopdemo.dao;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
#Component
public class MembershipDAO {
public void addAccount() {
System.out.println(getClass() + ": DOING MY DB WORK: ADDING A MEMBERSHIP ACCOUNT");
}
}
Here is my config class:
package com.luv2code.aopdemo;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.EnableAspectJAutoProxy;
#Configuration
#EnableAspectJAutoProxy
#ComponentScan("com.luv2code.aopdemo")
public class DemoConfig {
}
Here is the Controller that makes use of the method on which the advice is applied:
package com.luv2code.aopdemo;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import com.luv2code.aopdemo.dao.AccountDAO;
import com.luv2code.aopdemo.dao.MembershipDAO;
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/main")
public class MainController {
#GetMapping("/test")
public String MainTest() {
System.out.println("hello from /main/test");
// read spring config java class
AnnotationConfigApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(DemoConfig.class);
// get the bean from spring container
theMembershipDAO = context.getBean("membershipDAO", MembershipDAO.class);
// call the membership business method
theMembershipDAO.addAccount();
// close the context
context.close();
return "main-test";
}
}

Your pointcut is too global. You are trying to weave into too many classes, specifically Spring core classes. Try to limit pointcut matching to your own application packages via within(com.luv2code.aopdemo..*). See my other answer for other sample pointcuts.

I already added the maven dependency. For Spring and Hibernate I have added all the required dependency.

If the error is saying that the class is not found, then it's actually saying that the class can not be loaded by the JVM, because the JVM can not find that class in your classpath.
Then you need to build your project again with maven, in order to create .class files for your JVM,
Or before that, try to pull again your project dependencies from remote maven repository into your local maven repository, and then do the maven build project in order to populate .class files.
Hope that this helps.

I think the problem is not on your dependencies. I am new to spring too but i think this might help you:
#Configuration
public class SpringWebAppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer{
#Override
public void onStartup(ServletContext sc) throws ServletException {
AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
context.register(ApplicationContextConfig.class);
ServletRegistration.Dynamic dispatcher = sc.addServlet("dispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(context));
dispatcher.setLoadOnStartup(1);
dispatcher.addMapping("/");
}
}

Maven 3.2.1 + Hibernate 4.3.4 - Unable to build entity manager factory - Caused by: ParameterizedTypeImpl cannot be cast to java.lang.Class

I have migrated a Hibernate 4.3.4 to a Maven 3.2.1 project. I have created just one jar file with maven-shade-plugin, but when I start it I have the following exception:

I have debugged and I have found that the class which raises the exception is org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.db.jpa.converter.ContextMapAttributeConverter.
In my pom I have a dependency with log4j 2.0-rc1 as dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-api</artifactId>
<version>2.0-rc1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId>
<version>2.0-rc1</version>
</dependency>
It has worked fine before I tried to integrate all in Maven.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!

As mentioned by aaronfc already, there is an open ticket on hibernate JIRA: https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-8804
So the Problem is an collision with Log4j2 converters, more detailed, the db appender JPA converters.
However, the problems occurs with the "fat" jar only...
Workaround: If you use maven-shade-plugin to pack your jar - and don't need any log4j2 db appender, you could exclude the colliding Converter classes:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<shadedArtifactAttached>true</shadedArtifactAttached>
<shadedClassifierName>jar-with-dependencies</shadedClassifierName>
<filters>
<filter>
<artifact>org.apache.logging.log4j:*</artifact>
<excludes>
<exclude>org/apache/logging/log4j/core/appender/db/jpa/converter/*</exclude>
</excludes>
</filter>
</filters>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

I stumbled upon this also. There is an open ticket on https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-8804
I "workarounded" it by downgrading to Hibernate 4.2.12.Final and JPA2.0. Hope it helps!
Edit:
Sorry, didn't see that this was a two months old post, anyway hope it is useful for somebody :P

In extension to #hartmut's answer, if you're using Gradle, include Gradle Shadow, and do the following in build.gradle:
shadowJar {
exclude 'org/apache/logging/log4j/core/appender/db/jpa/converter/*'
}
You can then run gradle shadowJar to create the jar

I have found a workaround that works. Instead to create a "fat" jar, I have created a Jar with my project and all the dependencies in a separate "lib" folder (included Hibernate of course).
I don't know way, but it works now.
