Hibernate and JUnit-problem: LogConfigurationException

Hi,

I wanted to write a Testclass in JUnit with eclipse, which at first loads something out of my database with Hibernate.
But I get the following error:

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

Does anyone know, which properties (and where) I have to change to get rid of that effect?

Thanks!!

You should check all the jar files that are used in your project.

There seem to be more than one jar file containing org.apache.commons.logging.Log class of various versions. Try to remove all but one.

Dejan Pažin

The jar file containing org.apache.commons.logging.Log class is most probably named commons-logging-1.x.x.jar.

dejanpazin, I have that commons-loggin-1.0.4.jar
But when I remove it from my jars, I get another error:

For me it seems, that I have to tell hibernate not to log at all - but I have no idea where...

Dejan Pažin

From the exception it looks like you have org.apache.commons.logging.Log class in more jars. Try to do the following:

1. Check the classpath of your application and see all the jar files that it uses.
2. Search all those jars for org.apache.commons.logging.Log class
3. Dont remove commons-loggin-1.0.4.jar, cause you need that one, remove any other jars that contain org.apache.commons.logging.Log class

ASKER

Thanks, dejanpazin, I searched every jar-file, but there is still no other jar-file containing org.apache.commons.logging.Log-class

Dejan Pažin

The only other idea I can think of is that you remove the org.apache.commons.logging.Log class from the commons-loggin-1.0.4.jar nad try running the application.

If the Log class really doesnt occur anywhere else, you should get error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/Log

I removed the Log.class from the jar-file.

I get the message:

Line 51 in HibernateUtil is:
Configuration cfg = new Configuration();

Great, I see, that´s really the problem I encounter. I´ll see, whether I´m able to fix it...

@dejanpazin

Now I know, where the error is - but I don´t know, how to solve it... I think, Hibernate and JUnit are both using the same logger, but in both cases I don´t use the class-loader, but it´s somewhere inside?!? So I don´t know, how to tell them to solve that parent-child-problem with ClassLoader...

Can you give me any hint?

Dejan Pažin

Hint is best I can do at this time. I'd try the following:

1. Try to see which classloader loads the classes first. Use

Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();

I guess that would be in your case just before you call

Configuration cfg = new Configuration(); (its where the error occurs if you remove the Log class)

2. Set the same classloader at a place where error occurs (not the NoClassFound exception, but the exception of classloaders), use

Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader();

I belive this is where you have that:

GegnerTest.setUp()

aozarov

You can try to call (before Configuration cfg = new Configuration()):
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader());
If this doesn't work by itself then you can try also to put commons-loggin-1.0.4.jar
under your JVM (that one that is running eclipse) jre\lib\ext folder

ASKER

@aozarov

Sorry, that doesn´t work.

aozarov

Did you try them both (set context class loader as well as making sure that only one instance of commons-loggin exists and it is under jre\lib\ext)?
If so, do you get the same problem or do you get any other exception?

It may sound unbelievable, but now I get the message:

(Could not find the main-class)

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: test/app/LexTest
Exception in thread "main"

I use not JUnit-module-Tests, not with GUI and TestSuites - and it works. Thanks to both of you!
