Tomcat cannot find class "InaccessibleWSDLException", glassfish can - java

I am working with webservices in Java, and right after opening the port and calling the service, I try to catch a "com.sun.xml.ws.wsdl.parser.InaccessibleWSDLException".
This worked fine on my dev Glassfish v2 server, but when I shifted my WAR file to Tomcat, I got a NoClassDefFoundError:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/xml/ws/wsdl/parser/InaccessibleWSDLException
I did some Googled it and found out that the JAR jaxws-rt.jar had the InaccessibleWSDLException class. But including this JAR in my WAR only broke more things.
I would appreciate any help in eliminating this error.
Thanks.
Additional Info:
After adding jaxws-rt.jar, I get this on all services, irrespective of whether I catch InaccessibleWSDLException or not:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.xml.stream.buffer.XMLStreamBuffer

The problem is probably that you're importing a class starting with com.sun.. This is generally bad: Why Developers Should Not Write Programs That Call 'sun' Packages
This class is not documented as part of the JAX-WS specification, so I expect this class is part of the JAX-WS implementation in Glassfish; it is unlikely to be present in any other implementation and you should not reference it if you want your code to be portable. I suggest you catch WebServiceException instead (which I believe is the parent type).

You need to add all WSDL dependencies, I'm not sure what they are but stream buffer looks like it is, jars can be found here:
http://download.java.net/maven/1/com.sun.xml.stream.buffer/jars/
It works in glassfish because it has all those jars installed by default while Tomcat does not.

JasperReport cannot find symbol JREvaluator in WildFly, works without server

Recently I've been working on report generation with Jasper. I have created a simple program to test it and when running it via IDE it did work fine.
Then I moved the (very short) class to WildFly sever application and despite having the exact same code and library generation fails with cannot find symbol. Those symbols it cannot find are JREvaluator, JRFillVariable as well as packages such as net.sf.jasperreports.engine
In so far I have confirmed that:
Project builds (meaning those classes are visible for javac, but not jvm)
jasperreports-6.13.0.jar is added to war (it's present in /WEB-INF/lib folder alongside other libraries, like gson and hibernate
jasperreports-6.13.0.jar contains the missing classes
It looks to me like the problem doesn't lie in library not being loaded or missing classes (because in testing environment it works), but like something was preventing JBoss class loader from loading those classes
Attempted (and failed) solutions
Clean and Build
Adding -Djava.awt.headless=true to VM options - this did not changed anything
Adding -Djava.awt.headless=false to VM options - also didn't change a thing, but once caused NullPointerException inside jasperreport library. For testing program - worked in both cases
Adding commons-beanutils-1.9.4.jar, commons-digester-2.1.jar, commons-collections4-4.4.jar and commons-loggin-1.2.jar - with no changes
Adding jasper-compiler-jdt-5.5.23.jar - this caused a different error, namely NoSuchMethodError for org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ICompilerRequestor and few others. This library however should not be necessary as - from what I understand - jasperreport-6.13.0.jar already contains it's compiler and separate library for compiler is not required since a long time.
What has not been attempted:
Forcing the classes to load (http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/Reflection/Forcethegivenclasstobeloadedfully.htm)
Dynamically loading jar during Runtime or using custom class loader
Update: after looking at this answer and applying the suggestion the missing class was different. Which suggests that the dependencies inside jasperreport.jar are not being loaded properly
I have figured it out
For some reason in server project libraries used by jasperreport.jar were not loaded, but in the testing project they were (might be due to WildFly, might be due to differences between IntelliJ and NetBeans)
Here is the list of libraries, based on pom.xml file in jasperreport.jar that I have added. Some might not be necessary and the list might not be exhaustive (I basically stopped adding libraries once report started generating) but it's good enough base if someone else runs into this problem:
commons-beanutils-1.9.4.jar
itext-2.1.7.jar
poi-ooxml-4.1.1.jar
commons-collections4-4.4.jar
jcommon-1.0.23.jar
xalan-2.7.2.jar
commons-digester-2.1.jar
jfreechart-1.0.19.jar
xmpcore-5.1.3.jar
commons-logging-1.2.jar
poi-4.1.1.jar

Oracle Rules - Imported Java Fact causes UndefinedException when deployed

In JDeveloper 12c, I have created a BPM application/project. Project SOA Settings are Composite With Business Rule.
The project has a Mediator and is exposed as a REST service. I am deploying using the IntegratedWebLogicServer
The XML Facts are rather generic including lists of fields, sub-lists, and sub-sub-lists, etc. This makes navigating the inputs more challenging.
I created a Java class with some static methods that more easily retrieve the data based on an expression. I created a jar with that class and then imported the class into the Java Facts. I then created rules that call the static methods on that Java Fact.
The rules validate just fine and I can now successfully run the rules from the "Test" tab of the rules. I get expected results. However, when I deploy the project it seems like the imported jar is not deployed along with it since I get the following exception:
oracle.rules.rl.exceptions.UndefinedException: The symbol "mypackage.MyUtil" is undefined.
at line 22 column 14 in /Ruleset(main)
I thought that importing the class in the Java Facts would cause my custom jar or at least the class that I imported to be deployed. But it seems that this may not be the case. Am I missing something? Is there somewhere in my project that I can place the jar to cause it to be deployed?
I tried adding the jar to the Libraries and Classpath entries of the project. I also tried adding it to a user library located in the project and adding that to the Libraries and Classpath list. But both had no effect.
I am new to JDeveloper and Oracle BPM, so I'm hoping there's something simple I'm missing here.
The solution was to add the jar to this directory:
MyBpmApplication\MyBpmProject\SOA\SCA-INF\lib

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError when the method definitely exists

I have a Spring framework based Java web application, which has been built in SpringSource Tool Suite ("STS"), and a local copy of Apache Tomcat. We also have a internal production server, again running Tomcat.
When I run the application on my development machine, and carry out a specific action in the web application, everything works correctly. However, when I deploy the web application to Tomcat on the server (via a war file produced by maven), and repeat those aforementioned specific actions, I'm presented with some unexpected behaviour. When I checked the server tomcat log file, I found this...
2011-11-16 19:36:45,090 [http-8280-Processor1] ERROR [attachments] invoke - Servlet.service() for servlet attachments threw exception java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: net.wmfs.coalesce.aa.dao.MediaDao.updateAlfrescoNodeRef(Ljava/lang/Long;Ljava/lang/String;)V
at net.wmfs.coalesce.aa.service.impl.MediaServiceImpl.doFileUpload(MediaServiceImpl.java:102)
at net.wmfs.coalesce.aa.servlet.MediaServlet.doFileUpload(MediaServlet.java:83)
at net.wmfs.coalesce.aa.servlet.MediaServlet.doPost(MediaServlet.java:55)
Now, the updateAlfrescoNodeRef method definitly exists in the MediaDao class - otherwise my code would not compile in STS...
package net.wmfs.coalesce.aa.dao;
public class MediaDao extends JdbcDaoSupport {
public void updateAlfrescoNodeRef(final Long recordId, final String nodeRef) {
// java code
}
}
As you can see, the method signature is correct.
I suspected that there may have been a problem when maven produced the war file, so I extracted the war files contents. In the WEB-INF/lib folder, I found the jar file which holds the MediaDao class, and extracted its contents. I then did a...
cat ./MediaDao.class
Now, as class files are binary files, I mostly saw gobledegook. However, I was able to clearly make out references to the updateAlfrescoNodeRef method, as well as the contents of a String in that method. So, this means that the method is definitely there.
The bean configuration in the Spring framework XML files is definitely correct, or the code would not run when I execute it on my development machine.
Googling suggested a library conflict on the server, but all the referenced classes - MediaServlet, MediaServiceImpl, MediaDao - are in the main project (the one with the WEB-INF folder in it). While its conceivable there may be multiple copies of the dependencies on the server, there is definitely only one copy of the main project jar.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
The problem has now been resolved. Thank you everyone for your assistance.
It turns out that the main project had a dependency which had another MediaDao class, in exactly the same package path. Someone had basically copied the class into that dependency (as a library resource so that lots of projects could use it without specifying the main project as a dependency). However, that someone had not removed the class in the main project.
So, when I modified the class in the main project (I added the updateAlfrescoNodeRef method), and ran the application in STS on my machine, Tomcat used the version of the class in the main project, and not in the library because the library project was closed. When the application was deployed to the server however, it looks like the version of the class in the library was used instead (which, of course, didn't have the updateAlfrescoNodeRef method in it).
Expert tip if you ever find yourself in a similar situation: In STS, press CTRL+SHIFT+T to open the "Open Type" dialog, and enter the name of the problematic class to see a list of projects that have a class with that name.
If the error occured in android studio, it also can be a bug of the Instant Run. In that case: File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart. It solved my problem
If you are using Tomcat 6+, look in ~tomcat/lib for conflicting classes and jars.
In Tomcat 5, look in ~tomcat/common/classes, ~tomcat/common/lib, ~tomcat/shared/classes and ~tomcat/shared/lib.

Java - how to get dependencies to ignore each other?

We are developing a fairly large project and have many dependencies. Recently, we ran into an issue with a conflict between two of them, agileAPI.jar and axis.jar. Both are 3rd party libraries.
The code in question depends directly on agileAPI.jar. If I build it with just that in the build path, everything that depends on it works correctly.
As soon as I add axis.jar to the build path (just adding it, not writing code that depends on it), everything goes wrong. Some of the code that depended on the first library is now throwing exceptions from the 2nd library. It is as if the first library is picking and choosing methods to call from the 2nd library, instead of whereever it was calling them from prior.
I have code in the project that needs axis.jar directly, so I can't just remove it from the build path. I need to find a way to have these two exist in the same build path, but ignore each other.
It should be noted that both libraries coexisted prior to a recent upgrade with agile. I have been working with Oracle's support team to try and resolve this. After two weeks, though, I am looking for other sources of help.
Our environment is Windows and Eclipse, although in testing this, it also occurs when running java from a command line. Our JDK is 1.5.0_22.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
David

In both cases, the line "at com.agile.api.pc.Table.createRow(Table.java:202)" is the agileAPI call that I am making. I have removed our package structure, as it identifies the company that I work for. They value privacy and security.
I'd advise you to check these two things first:
Open the axis.jar file with some zip utility, like 7-Zip or WinRar. See if there's a folder called "services" in the META-INF folder in the jar. If there is, it's possible that the axis.jar file specifies implementations for specific interfaces that somehow don't interoperate with agileAPI. Also do the same for agileAPI.jar, since it might itself declare an interface implementation that axis doesn't like.
Open both agileAPI.jar and axis.jar with a zip utility, then check if there's packages with the same name. If there's none, it won't be a naming conflict. If there's one or more, open the corresponding folders and do the same check recursively. If you end up with at least one class with the same name in the same package across the two jars, it's probably a naming conflict.
That should catch the most obvious issues. If none of this is the case, we'll need to look deeper.
A way to solve such classpath issues is to use a module system such as OSGi or the NetBeans Platform module system where each module has its own classloader.

Error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError on org.springframework.webflow.util.RandomGuid

I am sorry, my question is stupid, but I am not able to answer it, as a java illiterate. I run a tomcat (5) on CentOS5 (for a CAS server), and when I try to open this URL http://192.168.1.17:8080/cas-server-webapp-3.3.1/login I get this error :
first error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.springframework.webflow.util.RandomGuid
and root error:
org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Handler processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.springframework.webflow.util.RandomGuid
$CLASSPATH is empty, and it seems to be a problem, but I don't know what to put in it.
EDIT: Jared is right, my hosts files defined 127.0.0.1 as localhost, and now it work very well!
It is important to keep two or three different exceptions strait in our head in this case:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException This exception indicates that the class was not found on the classpath. This indicates that we were trying to load the class definition, and the class did not exist on the classpath.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError This exception indicates that the JVM looked in its internal class definition data structure for the definition of a class and did not find it. This is different than saying that it could not be loaded from the classpath. Usually this indicates that we previously attempted to load a class from the classpath, but it failed for some reason - now we're trying again, but we're not even going to try to load it, because we failed loading it earlier. The earlier failure could be a ClassNotFoundException or an ExceptionInInitializerError (indicating a failure in the static initialization block) or any number of other problems. The point is, a NoClassDefFoundError is not necessarily a classpath problem.
That being said, another answer poster indicates that the RandomGUID requires a call to InetAddress.getLocalHost(). On many operating systems, this would trigger a host lookup that would use the hosts file (/etc/hosts on *NIX systems, %WINDOWS%/system32/drivers/etc/HOSTS on a Windows system.)
I have seen similar errors quite frequently when that file incorrectly defines the localhost address. 127.0.0.1 should point to 'localhost' (and probably also localhost.localdomain.) It should NOT point to the actual host name of the machine (although for some reason, many older RedHat Linux installers liked to set it incorrectly.)
Nowadays, the environment variable $CLASSPATH should not be used; instead, the java application should have the classpath set on the command line.
However, in the case of tomcat and libraries used in the webapps, you simply put the JARs (for Spring) into the shared/lib/ folder of the tomcat installation.
NoClassDef: The searched-for class definition existed when the currently executing class was compiled, but the definition can no longer be found. As you're missing a spring class I'd guess that you're missing one of the spring jar files.
There are 2 places to put jars in tomcat, there's a global area (which in 5 is something like common/lib and is a bit different in tomcat6) and the area only for your webapp, which is webapps/mywebapp/WEB-INF/lib. The jars for your app should really go here, but if you're really perplexed and can't figure out any other way to make it work they'll work in the global (if you have only some of them in the global it might also break, as they might need a class in another jar and if one piece is in the local it won't work. This is especially true for spring libraries because there's a number of separate jars, not just one).
your CLASSPATH is a list of everywhere the jvm looks for classes. This could include directories of class files, or jar or zip files of classes, which are listed like directories. Tomcat should load that for you by using the above mentioned directories correctly.
The reason is failure to load class RandomGUID.
From looking at RandomGUID source, most of the chances that its static initializer failed at InetAddress.getLocalHost().
Do you have some strange networking config on the host? For example, no or weird localhost definition in /etc/hosts ?
If this appeared suddenly and unlogically to what you've been constructing, try renaming and renaming back classes that are referenced in an error log. This helped me in Netbeans several times.
