java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger

[rtrauni]

Deploying a plugin containing a jsf webapp within spring dm, I receive the error message below. The target platform contains com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging-1.1.1.jar and the jsf webapp commons-logging.jar in the WEB-INF/lib/ directory, which is referenced within the MANIFEST.MF in the section Bundle-ClassPath: ... WEB-INF/lib/commons-logging.jar, ...

Shortly before the java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger, several java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.servlet.LocalStrings_de_DE are thrown.

Invoking the application at localhost yields a HTTP Status 404 - /jsfsample/testjsf.faces, description The requested resource (/jsfsample/testjsf.faces) is not available.


How can I solve this issue?

1. please use [ c o d e ] tags to make the post readable.
2. don't use commons logging - (http://is.gd/pBQq)
3. use a commons logging alternative such as slf4j (http://is.gd/pBRP)

I have a similar problem... except it happens only when I try to run the Spring Web MVC app via the STS IDE (version 2.3.2). I start off by creating a dynamic web application project, add Spring project nature. The app just involves redirecting to a HelloWorld controller that redirects to a simplistic view page. Regardless of whether commons-logging 1.1.1 is added or not to the build path, running the app in the IDE yields the excetion:

SEVERE: Servlet /NewIssues threw load() exception
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory
	at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1645)
	at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1491)
	at org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.<clinit>(DispatcherServlet.java:208)

However, if I package as a WAR and deploy it to a running instance of tcServer or even Tomcat, the app works just fine. I don't know how to resolve this! I need a push in the right direction.

Thanks.

I am using the last Eclipse (Indigo). My project builds fine, but when I start tomcat (in Eclipse), I get the following error:

I have "commons-logging.jar" in my project class path, which is a part of the Apache JSF Library). So I can't for the life of me see why this error is occuring when I start tomcat.

Can any help me?

Thanks,
