java/spring- getting NoClassDefFoundError at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext

Question

I am trying to initialise an RMI client for which I have used Spring.

Now, the application's RMI context is stored in file= rmiClientAppContext.xml

The relevant code for using the above file is given below--

 //RMI Client Application Context is started...
     ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("rmiClientAppContext.xml");

However, when I try and run the program, this is the error I am getting--

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory
at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.<init>(AbstractApplicationContext.java:164)
at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.<init>(AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.java:90)
at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractRefreshableConfigApplicationContext.<init>(AbstractRefreshableConfigApplicationContext.java:59)
at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractXmlApplicationContext.<init>(AbstractXmlApplicationContext.java:61)
at org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext.<init>(ClassPathXmlApplicationContext.java:136)
at org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext.<init>(ClassPathXmlApplicationContext.java:83)

On further investigation of the first line of error message above, I found that

"164 is not a valid line number in org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext"

What have i done wrong here? I am using Spring v3.1.3 How do I resolve the above error? Also, exactly which JARs do I have to include for the RMI client? And is there any specific order in which those JARs should be added to Java build path in Eclipse?

Can you please include your main class in the post? what seems to make the problem is the missing jar file associated with apache commons logging . are you trying to instantiate a logger in your main class? did you add the corresponding bean in your context.xml? — ye9ane

In this particular case you should include commons-logging-1.1.1.jar in your client classpath. Spring-Core depends on it.

In general I suggest you to use Maven or similar tool to manage your dependencies.

Sounds like you are missing very important spring-web jar file. Add this to your pom file to fix this issue.

     <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.6.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
