NullPointerException when launching Blazegraph server

[csrull]

Hi,

I just installed Blazegraph 2.1.4 on my Mac (OSX 10.13.4) with JRE 10.0.1. When trying to launch the server with: java -server -Xmx800m -jar blazegraph.jar

I get the following error:

ERROR: Banner.java:160: Uncaught exception in thread
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.bigdata.rdf.sail.webapp.StandaloneNanoSparqlServer.main(StandaloneNanoSparqlServer.java:142)

Extending the start server timeout via -Djetty.start.timeout=60 does not resolve the error. Any ideas how to resolve?

Thanks!

I think that this thread has the answer. https://sourceforge.net/p/bigdata/discussion/676946/thread/771a036f/ Bryan

First, thanks for the quick response.

But, I'm not a Java developer, so not sure how to modify the StandaloneNanoSparqlServer.java class and compile. Seems like the code should work out of the box when following the Start Blazegraph instructions on a Mac. Is there something else I can do to run it, short of installing Eclipse (etc), adding a line of code to a class, and recompiling?

[thompsonbry]

Basically, you need to set

…

-DjettyXml=.... Where .... is the path of your jetty.xml file. This normally arises with embedded blazegraph use. I am not sure why you are having a problem launching the jar. See https://wiki.blazegraph.com/wiki/index.php/NanoSparqlServer for more information on using the NanoSparqlServer in various modes. Bryan

Thanks. Tried that. I put a copy of jetty.xml in the same directory as blazegraph.jar, then executed:

export JETTY_XML=/absolute/path/to/jetty.xml
java -server -Xmx800m -DjettyXml=$JETTY_XML -jar blazegraph.jar

And got the exact same error.

[csrull]

Just following up -- I know this seems like a minor issue given the other bugs you are likely working on. I really want test this out over the weekend. Any other ideas or am I out of luck? Thanks!

[ehrhart]

Had the same issue with JRE 9.0.4. Fixed it by using JRE 8.0 instead.

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8)
java -server -Xmx4g -jar blazegraph.jar

[thompsonbry]

Interesting...

I would expect that it would work out of the box. Anything I should configure beforehand?

Try java 8 per the thread.

I spent several hours trying to load JRE 8.0. Still never got it to work. Gave up and am using an alternative. Really wanted to use Blazegraph...

[mprinc]

Yes, same with me. Same problem. Same solution. Sadly, spent a lot of time before finding this issue thread

[bjonnh]

This issue is still present in the latest release (2.1.5) with Java 11.

[yongbozhang]

See same issue here. This is blocking my team upgrading to java 11.

You can run jetty by yourself. In kotlin I do:

fun main() {
    val blazePort = 9999
    val a = NanoSparqlServer()
    val server = Server(blazePort)
    val webapp = WebAppContext()
    val initParams = LinkedHashMap<String, String>()
    initParams[ConfigParams.NAMESPACE] = "xyz"
    initParams[ConfigParams.QUERY_THREAD_POOL_SIZE] = ConfigParams.DEFAULT_QUERY_THREAD_POOL_SIZE.toString()
    initParams[ConfigParams.FORCE_OVERFLOW] = "false"
    initParams[ConfigParams.READ_LOCK] = "0"
    webapp.setAttribute("INIT_PARAMS_OVERRIDES", initParams)
    webapp.contextPath = "/blazegraph"
    webapp.war = a.javaClass.getResource("/war").toExternalForm()
    webapp.isExtractWAR = true
    server.handler = webapp
    server.start()
    server.join()
}

Did you try the fix suggested in this thread? See [1,2]. If this is not your problem, can you please include the stack trace and provide a link to the line in the code where the exception is thrown?

May I ask where should the this code be entered to?

[thompsonbry]

Right before -server in your command. It is an argument to the JVM

Thanks a lot Bryan! :)

The path to jetty.xml is /etc/blazegraph, am I correct?
I used this command: java -DjettyXml=/etc/blazegraph -server -Xmx4g -jar blazegraph.jar
However, it was not successful!

Also, I've seen the code below in one of the links you provided. Where can I find the StandaloneNanoSparqlServer.Java and where in the file should I paste this code?

String jettyXml = System.getProperty(SystemProperties.JETTY_XML, "jetty.xml");
System.setProperty("jetty.home", jettyXml.getClass().getResource("/war").toExternalForm());

Thanks in Advance,
Aref

Setup with/Specific Downgrade to Java 8 JDK and JRE worked for me to get it running (on Ubuntu 18.04).

Installing Java 8 JRE & JDK
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

If needed: Uninstalling Java Installation:
sudo apt-get remove --purge icedtea-* openjdk-*

[beebs-systap]

Please try the jar version included in the 2.1.6 RC. It works with Java 9+.

https://github.com/blazegraph/database/releases/tag/BLAZEGRAPH_2_1_6_RC

[Dadou1985]

First, you should uninstall your java sdk version and set up the java sdk version 8:
$ sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
Then install Blazegraph and run it:
$ curl -L -o blazegraph.jar https://github.com/blazegraph/database/releases/download/BLAZEGRAPH_RELEASE_CANDIDATE_2_1_5/blazegraph.jar
java -jar blazegraph.jar

It works for me and I'm working on ubuntu.

[Dadou1985]

I forgot the dollar before "java -jar blazegraph.jar" to run it.
good luck !
