Spring Data Cassandra application fails to start on JDK 14 [DATACASS-781]

[spring-projects-issues]

Sergiy Morenets opened DATACASS-781 and commented

Hi

I have very simple Spring Data Cassandra project that uses JDK 14.0.1

Here is Maven dependencies:

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-cassandra</artifactId>
 <version>2.3.1.RELEASE</version>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
 <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
 <version>2.3.1.RELEASE</version>
 </dependency>

 

However when I run this Spring Boot application I get fatal exception:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.v7.Java7
 at org.codehaus.groovy.vmplugin.VMPluginFactory.<clinit>(VMPluginFactory.java:43)

 

If I downgrade to JDK 13.0.2 then application starts successfully

Affects: 3.0.1 (Neumann SR1)

Thanks for reporting the issue. Removing the Cassandra dependency lets also the issue disappear. Here's the full stack trace with

As it looks now, the trigger is the presence of Groovy on the classpath. Groovy libs are pulled in by the Cassandra driver:

The Groovy version 2.5.7 is known to be incompatible with Java 14. Upgrading to Groovy 3.0.x seems to resolve the issue:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
	<artifactId>groovy</artifactId>
	<version>3.0.4</version>
	<classifier>indy</classifier>
</dependency>

You might want to file a ticket against Cassandra's Java driver at https://datastax-oss.atlassian.net/projects/JAVA/issues to ask for an upgraded Groovy or Apache Gremlin driver version

Closing the ticket here as there's nothing we can do on our side

Spring Boot 2.3.1 should use Groovy 2.5.12 which is compatible with Java 14. Unfortunately, the indy-classified dependencies stop Spring Boot's dependency management from applying when using Maven. Rather than jumping to Groovy 3.0.x, you can avoid the problem by applying Boot's managed version of Groovy (2.5.12) to the indy-classified dependencies:

<dependencyManagement>
	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
			<artifactId>groovy</artifactId>
			<classifier>indy</classifier>
			<version>${groovy.version}</version>
		</dependency>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
			<artifactId>groovy-json</artifactId>
			<classifier>indy</classifier>
			<version>${groovy.version}</version>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
