java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

[blulas]

I have created a very small node.js application with Nodeclipse (Eclipse plugin). This small application simply calls a Java facade using a static method, and that facade in turn calls APIs for a commercial product, via a large set of JAR file dependancies.

I have a JAR file with custom java code which wraps the commercial product API. I compile this JAR file outside of node-js using JDK 8, BTW. My code around this API works fine within JUnit, since I have control over my classpath when running from JUnit. There are nearly 40 JAR files that are required to be on the classpath in order for my custom code to run, even though from a compiling perspective only one of those 40 JAR files are required.

In my node-js application I am using java.classpath.push() for each of those 40 JAR files. I have verified that the JARs are on the application classpath, as I have dumped the classpath in my Java wrapper to the console.

My Java code works fine from node-js until it reaches a line of code which calls the product API, and then it simply returns a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for the product API class that I am calling. It seems clear that the product API classes are not on the node-js classpath for some reason.

I have also verified that I am getting into my custom Java methods from node-js, so the failure is clearly at the point in the code where I need to reference the product API.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!

I have resolved this issue by pointing my java.classpath.push() calls using the direct path of the JAR files rather than a relative path.

I have the same error:

C:\Projects\testMQ\node_modules\java\lib\nodeJavaBridge.js:227
var clazz = java.findClassSync(name); // TODO: change to Class.forName when classloader issue is resolved.
^

Error: Could not create class MyClass

at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:335)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357)

My codes are:
node.js
var java = require('java');
java.classpath.push( ".");

var MyClass = java.import("MyClass");
var result = MyClass.addNumbersSync(1, 2);
console.log(result);
JAVA:
public class MyClass {
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Now the output is redirected!");
}
public static int addNumbers(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
}

Can you try `console.log(path.resolve(".")); java.classpath.push(path.resolve("."));` to make sure the directory that you intended to add to the class path is correct.

Hi, after I put the "path" component, everything is working well, thanks!

[blulas]

I’ve tried this and I get an exception that path is unresolved.

@blulas, try to run:

npm install path

this installs the package path.

[abdulhannanali]

@MPBatista Although the path package on npm has the same, it's clear something else is wrong, since it comes builtin and there should be need to install it separately on node.js, unless an updated path version is needed for previous versions of node.js

[MPBatista]

Could you test with this:

#!/usr/bin/env node
const path = require('path');
console.log( path.resolve("."));

var java = require('java');
var javaLangSystem = java.import('java.lang.System');

javaLangSystem.out.printlnSync('Hello World');

Hi, @MPBatista, your script worked.
In general your solution worked, but there is a little catch related to where to put the java.classpath.push() call. Please see the below explanation.

on ubuntu
oracle java 1.8, node v6.11.1.
node-java v0.9.0.

test code:

#!/usr/bin/env node
const java = require('java');
const javaLangSystem = java.import('java.lang.System');
console.log(java.classpath);
javaLangSystem.out.printlnSync('Hello World');
java.classpath.push(path.resolve('/home/vagrant/Downloads', 'sikulixapi.jar'));
console.log(java.classpath);
const Screen = java.import('org.sikuli.script.Screen');

output:

vagrant@desktop01:~$ node testjava.js
[ '/home/vagrant/node_modules/java/commons-lang3-node-java.jar',
'/home/vagrant/node_modules/java/src-java',
pushDir: [Function] ]
Hello World
[ '/home/vagrant/node_modules/java/commons-lang3-node-java.jar',
'/home/vagrant/node_modules/java/src-java',
'/home/vagrant/Downloads/sikulixapi.jar',
pushDir: [Function] ]
/home/vagrant/node_modules/java/lib/nodeJavaBridge.js:227
var clazz = java.findClassSync(name); // TODO: change to Class.forName when classloader issue is resolved.
^

Error: Could not create class org.sikuli.script.Screen

at Module.runMain (module.js:604:10)
at run (bootstrap_node.js:389:7)

The above problem is related to where the java.classpath.push() is called. By placing it before the first import the script worked as expected:

test code:

#!/usr/bin/env node
const java = require('java');
java.classpath.push('/home/vagrant/Downloads/sikulixapi.jar');
const javaLangSystem = java.import('java.lang.System');
javaLangSystem.out.printlnSync('Hello World');
const Screen = java.import('org.sikuli.script.Screen');
var s = new Screen();
s.click('/home/vagrant/Projects/chrome.png');

output:

Hello World
[log] CLICK on L(32,174)@s(0)[0,0 1920x1016] (563 msec)

its common problem of this api . I also faced this type problem.

[MPBatista]

Hi @xywang68, you can just put the jar inside the same directory where is the code nodejs.

This is happen because nodejs doesn't work well with the relative path, so you need to force the code to find the class.

[arjunrai1t]

i also done this but same things happens..

Following how I use to find the jars:

#!/usr/bin/env node
const path = require('path');
console.log(path.resolve("."));
//
var java = require('java');
java.classpath.push( ".");
java.classpath.push( "../lib/com.ibm.mq.headers.jar");
java.classpath.push( "../lib/com.ibm.mq.jar");
java.classpath.push( "../lib/com.ibm.mq.jmqi.jar");
java.classpath.push( "../lib/com.ibm.mq.postcard.jar");
java.classpath.push( "../lib/com.ibm.mq.commonservices.jar");
java.classpath.push( "../lib/commons-logging.jar");
java.classpath.push( "../lib/connector-api-1.5.jar");
java.classpath.push( "../lib/jta-1.1.jar");

var MqSeries = java.newInstanceSync( "ca.commun.mq.MqSeries",
config[ENV].nomRequete,
config[ENV].nomProgramme,
config[ENV].localQManager,
config[ENV].sendQManager,
config[ENV].sendQ,
config[ENV].replyQManager,
config[ENV].replyQ,
config[ENV].channel,
config[ENV].hostName,
config[ENV].port,
config[ENV].userId,
config[ENV].password
);

var message = MqSeries.sendReceiveSync( requete);

console.log( "Message=" + message);

You can also use https://github.com/joeferner/node-java-maven which I wrote to help with Maven like dependencies.

[arjunrai1t]

Please give me example for find jar in windows with path
