3 ways to solve java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError in Java J2EE

I know how frustrating is to see "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" while running your Java application. This is one of the dreaded problem in Java  which is also a manifestation of NoClassDefFoundError in Java. I have seen it a couple of times and spent quite a lot of time initially to figure out what is wrong, which class is missing etc. The first mistake I did was mingling java.lang.ClassNotfoundException and NoClassDefFoundError, in reality, are totally different, and my second mistake was using the trial and error method to solve this java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError instead of understanding why NoClassDefFoundError is coming, what is the real reason behind NoClassDefFoundError and how to resolve this.

In this Java tutorial, I have tried to rectify that mistakes and uncover some secrets of NoClassDefFoundError in Java and will share my experience around it. NoClassDefFoundError is not something that cannot be resolved or is hard to resolve it’s just its manifestation that puzzles most Java developers. 

This is also  the most common error in Java development along with java.lang.OutOfMemoroyError: Java heap space and java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space  Anyway lets see Why NoClassDefFoundError comes in Java and what to do to resolve NoClassDefFoundError in Java.





What is the reason for NoClassDefFoundError in Java?

NoClassDefFoundError in Java comes when Java Virtual Machine is not able to find a particular class at runtime which was available at compile time. 

For example, if we have a method call from a class or accessing any static member of a class and that class is not available during run-time then JVM will throw NoClassDefFoundError

It’s important to understand that this is different than ClassNotFoundException which comes while trying to load a class at run-time only and the name was provided during runtime, not at compile-time. Many Java developer mingles this two Error and gets confused.




In short, NoClassDefFoundError will come if a class was present during compile time but not available in java classpath during runtime. Normally you will see the below line in the log when you get NoClassDefFoundError:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Exception in thread “main” simply indicates that it's the “main” thread that is not able to find a particular class it could be any thread so just don’t worry. 

The difference between this error coming in the main thread and another thread is when Exception in thread “main” comes program crashes or shut itself down as opposed to other thread in which case your program will continue to run. 



Difference between java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError and ClassNotFoundException in Java

Many times we confused ourselves with java.lang.ClassNotFoundException and java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, though both of them are related to Java Classpath they are completely different from each other. 

ClassNotFoundException comes when JVM tries to load a class at runtime dynamically means you give the name of the class at runtime and then JVM tries to load it and if that class is not found in the classpath it throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

While in the case of NoClassDefFoundError the problematic class was present during Compile time and that's why the program successfully compiled but was not available during runtime for any reason. 

NoClassDefFoundError is easier to solve than ClassNotFoundException in my opinion because here we know that Class was present at build time, but it totally depends upon the environment if you are working in the J2EE environment then you can get NoClassDefFoundError even if the class is present because it may not be visible to the corresponding class loader. 

3 ways to solve java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError in Java J2EE







How to resolve java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError in Java?

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError in Java solutionThe obvious reason for NoClassDefFoundError is that a particular class is not available in Classpath, so we need to add that into Classpath or we need to check why it’s not available in Classpath if we are expecting it to be. There could be multiple reasons like:

1) The class is not available in Java Classpath.

2) You might be running your program using the jar command and class was not defined in the manifest file's ClassPath attribute.

3) Any start-up script is an overriding Classpath environment variable.

4) Because NoClassDefFoundError is a subclass of java.lang.LinkageError it can also come if one of it dependency like native library may not available.

4) Check for java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError in your log file. NoClassDefFoundError due to the failure of static initialization is quite common.

5) If you are working in J2EE environment than the visibility of Class among multiple Classloader can also cause java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, see examples and scenario section for detailed discussion.

We will now see a couple of examples and scenarios when java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError has come before and how it's been resolved. This can help you to troubleshoot the root cause of NoClassDefFoundError in Java application.

How to solve NoClassDefFoundError in Java


NoClassDefFoundError in Java - Example and Scenarios

1. A simple example of NoClassDefFoundError is class belongs to a missing JAR file or JAR was not added into classpath or sometimes jar's name has been changed by someone like in my case one of my colleagues has changed tibco.jar into tibco_v3.jar and the program is failing with java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError and I were wondering what's wrong.

2. The class is not in Classpath, there is no sure-shot way of knowing it but many times you can just have a look to print System.getproperty("java.classpath") and it will print the classpath from there you can at least get an idea of your actual runtime classpath.

3. Just try to run with explicitly -classpath option with the classpath you think will work and if it's working then it's a sure shot sign that someone is overriding java classpath.

NoClassDefFoundError in Java due to Exception in Static Initializer block

This is another common reason for java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, when your class performs some static initialization in a static block like many Singleton classes initialized itself on the static block to take advantage of thread-safety provided by JVM during the class initialization process, and if static block throws an Exception, the class which is referring to this class will get NoclassDefFoundError in Java. 

If you look at your log file you should watch for any java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError because that could trigger java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class on other places. 

Like in the below code example, During class loading and initialization User class are throwing Exception from the static initializer block, which triggers ExceptionInInitializerError during the first time loading of User class in response to new User() call.

Later rest of new User() are failing as java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. the situation gets worst if original ExceptionInInitializerError, which is root cause here is silently eaten by any code.


Code Example of NoClassDefFoundError due to Static block Exception:


/**
 * Java program to demonstrate how failure of static initialization subsequently cause
 * java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError in Java.
 * @author Javin Paul
 */

public class NoClassDefFoundErrorDueToStaticInitFailure {

   
public static void main(String args[]){
       
        List
<User> users = new ArrayList<User>(2);
       
       
for(int i=0; i<2; i++){
           
try{
            users.
add(new User(String.valueOf(i))); //will throw NoClassDefFoundError
           
}catch(Throwable t){
                t.
printStackTrace();
           
}
       
}        
   
}
}

class User{
   
private static String USER_ID = getUserId();
   
   
public User(String id){
       
this.USER_ID = id;
   
}
   
private static String getUserId() {
       
throw new RuntimeException("UserId Not found");
   
}    
}

Output
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
    at testing.NoClassDefFoundErrorDueToStaticInitFailure.main(NoClassDefFoundErrorDueToStaticInitFailure.java:23)
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: UserId Not found
    at testing.User.getUserId(NoClassDefFoundErrorDueToStaticInitFailure.java:41)
    at testing.User.<clinit>(NoClassDefFoundErrorDueToStaticInitFailure.java:35)
    ... 1 more
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class testing.User
    at testing.NoClassDefFoundErrorDueToStaticInitFailure.main(NoClassDefFoundErrorDueToStaticInitFailure.java:23)


5) Since NoClassDefFoundError is an also a LinkageError that arises due to dependency on some other class, you can also get java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError if your program is dependent on the native library and the corresponding DLL is not there. Remember this can also trigger java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no dll in java.library.path Exception Java. In order to solve this keep your dll along with JAR.

6) If you are using the ANT build file create JAR and manifest file then its worth noting to debug till that level to ensure that ANT build script is getting the correct value of classpath and appending it to manifest.mf file.

7) Permission issue on the JAR file can also cause NoClassDefFoundError in Java. If you are running your Java program in a multi-user operating system like Linux then you should be using the application user id for all your application resources like JAR files, libraries, and configuration. 

If you are using a shared library which is shared among multiple application which runs under different users then you may run into permission issue, like JAR file is owned by some other user and not accessible to your application.

One of our readers “it’s me said”, faced java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError due to this reason. See his comment also.




8) Typo on XML Configuration can also cause NoClassDefFoundError in Java. As most of Java frameworks like Spring, Struts they all use XML configuration for specifying beans. By any chance, if you put the bean name wrong, it may surface as java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError while loading other class which has a dependency on the wrongly named bean. 

This is quite common in the Spring MVC framework and Apache Struts where you get tons of Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, while deploying your WAR or EAR file.

9) Another example of java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, as mentioned by our reader Nick, is that when your compiled class which is defined in a package, doesn’t present in the same package while loading like in the case of JApplet it will throw NoClassDefFoundError in Java. Also, see Nick’s comment on this error.


10) java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError can be caused due to multiple classloaders in J2EE environments. Since J2EE doesn’t mention standard classloader structure and it depends on different vendors like Tomcat, WebLogic, WebSphere on how they load different components of J2EE like WAR file or EJB-JAR file. 

In order to troubleshoot NoClassDefFoundError in the J2EE application knowledge of How ClassLoader works in Java is mandatory. Just to recap ClasLoader works on three principles delegation, visibility, and uniqueness. 

Delegation means every request to load a class is delegated to the parent classloader, visibility means an ability to found classes loaded by the classloader, all child classloaders can see classes loaded by parent classloader, but parent classloader can not see the class loaded by child classloaders. 

Uniqueness enforces that class loaded by the parent will never be reloaded by child classloaders. 

Now suppose if a class says User is present in both WAR file and EJB-JAR file and loaded by WAR classloader which is child classloader which loads the class from EJB-JAR. 

When a code in EJB-JAR refers to this User class, Classloader which loaded all EJB class doesn’t found that because it was loaded by WAR classloader which is a child of it. 

This will result in java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for User class. Also, If the class is present in both JAR file and you will call equals method to compare those two objects, it will result in ClassCastException as the object loaded by two different classloaders can not be equal.



11) Some of the readers of this blog also suggested that they get Exceptions in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/tools/javac/Main , this error means either your Classpath, PATH  or JAVA_HOME is not setup properly or JDK installation is not correct. which can be resolved by reinstalling JDK? 

If you are getting this error try to reinstall JDK. One of our readers got this issue after installing JDK and then reinstalling JDK, he also has his JRE and JDK in a different folder. See his comment also by searching the version you have installed. 


12) Java program can also throw java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError during linking which occurs during class loading in Java. One of the examples of this scenario is just deleted the User class from our static initializer failure example after compilation and they try to run the program. 

This time, you will get java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError directly without  java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError and message for NoClassDefFoundError are also just printing the name of the class as testing/User i.e. User class from the testing package. Watch out for this carefully as here root cause is absent of User.class file.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: testing/User
    at testing.NoClassDefFoundErrorDueToStaticInitFailure.main(NoClassDefFoundErrorDueToStaticInitFailure.java:23)


Let me know how exactly you are facing NoClassDefFoundError in Java and I will guide you on how to troubleshoot it if you are facing something new way than I listed above we will probably document it for the benefit of others and again don’t be afraid with Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.

I am getting java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError while running my program in Eclipse IDE. I checked the classpath and seems class is there. Eclipse is giving so much problem to me can any one help else has got NoClassDefFoundError in Eclipse ?

Javin said...

Can you post exact error or exception java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError comes due to many different reason.

panbhatt said...

NoClassDefFoundError mainly occurs at that time, when you have the class present in the JVM, however the JVM could not be able to load the class because of some reason (that can be either can exception is being thrown in the static block of the class) or for some other reason. However ClassNotFoundException seems to occur, while loading the main program, it does not found a class, which is being expected to be present.

Anusha said...

Hi.. i am getting java.lang.ClassNotFoundException for many classes. error is being shown in the console while running the JUNIT. whereas the classes are being generated. can you please help me.

Javin @ unsupportedclassversion error in java said...

Hi Anusha, Can you post some error here, is related to JUnit ? ClassNotFoundException comes when JVM tries to load class as result of method call Class.forName(), ClassLoader.findSystemClass() or ClassLoader.loadClass()

Javin @ eclipse debugging tutorial said...

Hi Anusha, do you have JUnit library added in your buildpath, you can check it by right click on your project --> properties-->Java build Path-->library, if not then you can add there as Add library -->Junit. if yes then it may possible that some of the jar in your build path is not present ( int his case your project must have some erorr) due to which Eclipse not able to find JUnit classes.

you can isolate this by running a simple Junit test on other project.

should be System.getProperty("java.class.path") instead of System.getproperty("java.classpath"), at least for jdk1.6.0_25.

Please check you have similar versions of JRE. Many times it happened with me that my classes were compiled with JRE 1.5.2 and I was deploying them on a server which was using JRE 1.5.0. Make sure you compile using the server's JRE and then try again.

Hi Anonymoust.Displaytag has dependency on some third party jars like apache commons lang, poi , tyring adding all those library and you will be fine. a quick ways is to download display tag example war file comes along with display tag download in source forge site and then use all jars from the /WEB-INF/lib in your project and you will be free of Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

Hi,
I have problem with

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Filed

The situation is my uni is marking our java assignment using a system called Plate.

\\\\\\\\
The root class must be named Trader and must include a static main method for your
code to be marked by PLATE. You must have the first two lines of code for PLATE to run. The
code inside the method should contain only a call to the constructor, as shown
public class Trader
{ public static void main(String[] args)
{ new Trader (); }
\\\\\\\\\

I use BlueJ as the IDE. My code runs if I run the main method, but is not running after I exported to jar file. When exporting, I chose, include source, Main clas: Trader. Here is my jar, if you can take a look at it, that will be great.

I could add some light. For those who use Eclipse if you right clicked on the server > "Publish" then you'll get this error. I solved right clicking on the server > "Clean". My code was ok. I just don't know what are those Eclipse options.

One of my libraries was giving NoClassDefFoundError because of its dependency on native library. This was resolved by placing a native library(dll) file together with jar.

Hi tita, you probably need to paste root cause for which clas is throwing java.lang.ClassNotFoundException ? or may be context what you are doing. I m sure there would be some thing which tells during for which particular class its showing this error.

It's me said...

Just thought I'd share that it's also worth checking permissions on the class libraries your application is loading. Incorrect user permissions (for instance root owning a library that should be owned by appuser) could lead to a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.

Recently I went through this. My application was failing with :

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/class/failedclass

The application runs as appuser and imports failedlcass from the class-loader.jar library located: /usr/local/myapp/lib/class-loader.jar

After making sure the library existed in the correct place I started the application with strace attached which led me to the problem :

400 17:04:57.674531 open("/usr/local/myapp/lib/class-loader.jar", O_RDONLY) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

Checking permissions on /usr/local/myapp/lib/class-loader.jar showed that it was incorrectly owned by root. Changing the owner back to appuser resolved the issue.

Javin @ substring in java said...

@"its'me" you definitely got a good point and its worth remembering permissions on jar files to avoid java.lang.NoClasDefFoundError. Thanks for your comment.

I am facing the NoClassDefFoundError in my Android app together with the ClassNotFoundError. The app's architecture is that I have a free and a pro version that both are using the same library project.
The .classpath file has the entry (among other things):
"kind='con' path='com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.LIBRARIES'"
and the Android manifest mentiones the activity explicitly. Am i supposed to add the library project's jar explicitly to the classpath? What am I missing here?

Hi adesh, is that coming from Applet, it looks to me as security policy issue, providing your Applet necessary permission may help.

Hello Javin,

sir we created one batch file parse.bat. we put all source files in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin folder that is all java files. and we also put mysql connector in that folder. but when we run that batch file we get errors like

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

i guess it is the error of classpath. we included that mysql connector jar file in jdk/bin folder and we have set class path to
classpath=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin

we have gone through some pdf and documents that we googled related to setting up classpath. we also posted our problems on stackoverflow . we have bloged our problem on some blogpost also. we searched a lot over the net. but no positive outcome. we got stuck there. we need your help sir.

Javin @ parse xml file in java said...

Hi Adesh, you don't need to put your code bin folder that's not a proper place you can put your source file anywhere and just need to set your path and classpath properly. run your program with -cp . e.g. java -cp . Helloworld.

Hi Ashwin, your error looks related to RMI , have you implemented Remote Interfaces properly, if you put some context than it would be easy to solve.

Ashwin said...

Hi Javin,
Thanks for the reply. Actually. we are migrating our application from JDK 1.4 to JDK 1.6 on HP-UX. what we did is, we compiled all java sources of our application through 1.6 compiler and made jar from it and using the same.Actually, I am getting error when try to create instance of my application through other jar file just to establish connection from client to server using, Class name = class.forname(class nmae); Object obj = name.newInstance();
I debugged the same, It is throwing above exception while execuing name.newInstance(); statement.But it is loading the class through class.forname properly. i still confuse y it is not happening for 1.6!!. I am not sure where I am doing wrong.

Hey! I'm so glad I found this blog! I'm struggling with the same issue NoClassDefFoundError with javax.microedition.io.PushRegistry, and I was pissed off when I checked the API and saw that the class was defined... then I checked the my machine to be sure that the PushRegistry.class was included in the JME SDK 3.0 directory bundled with the Netbeans, low and behold it was there! So WTF right? I still don't know how to resolve the issue so I'm hoping someone in this discussion might help me out. If you can just post a comment @RRH Thanks!

Javin @ how to run Java Program said...

@RRH, I agree NoClassDefFoundError are like that frustrating. try steps mentioning here or even ascertain that for which class its not able to find. check classpath, clue is always there.

@DMC Mihai, Thanks for your comment. you highlighted an important point of including current directory in classpath, I rather add that on before %classpath% e.g.

Hi, I'm not a programmer just a regular user of an iMAC. I have application I use to download data from a console that records my exercise work out, e.g. distance, time, KJ, HR, power etc. When I attach my console via a USB cable, the error message I receive is "no supported devices were found". However the detail error message reads as per below.

Does anyone know from looking at below, if the issue lies within the app it self or JAVA, as both were download as updates from the respective sites, i.e. JAVA from Apple site and PowerAgent from cyclops site, i.e. I just select the install button and do nothing else, In each case the updates indicate as "successful installation".

Javin @ Java Hashtable Example said...

@Anonymous, looks like issue with App configuration which requires some settings to be enabled and may not be enable in your Device,though just a guess. I would suggest contacting there support or looking on there installation guide for any pointers (e.g. any settings), shouldn't be issue with Java.

P-H said...

Great post Javin on this common error. I'm glad to see what you spent some time understand this problem at a deeper level. Your Blog has quite a lot of Java tutorials and problem patterns; great sharing for the Java community.

I would like to add that in my Java EE experience, the typical root cause of NoClassDefFoundError that I see from my clients Java EE apps are either classpath / libraries conflict or code failure of a static{} block. For people interested, I also have a post from my Blog on the NoClassDefFoundError problem patterns from a Java EE perspective along with a sample Java program simulation.

Thanks again.

Hi Jarvin,

Class files are there, but I am on Mac OS 10.7. I think I have installed the Mac Java update, but still no luck.

Hi Jarvin,

I think there is a more fundamental problem. I have just tried to compile the .java file and it claims that it cannot find packages, even though the packages are there in same directory! I have tried also setting the classpath and the sourcepath.

If you have any further insight that would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi everyone:
When you have this kind of problem you have to be sure that all the jars are added in the main project's build path. I had this error and I was freaking out :P I had a jar file that I was using in a project (main project) but this jar file was using another jar file. That last jar file was the problem. It wasn't in the build path of the main project. The problem was solved when I added it in the main project's build path.

Good luck guys :D

I had the same problem running a netbeans project from the cmd to use redirection to get some input.

I was using the following command:
...\src> java [package].[class].java < input.txt

It worked fine when I removed the .java extension like so:
...\src> java [package].[class] < input.txt

Terminate CLASSPATH with ';' as it could be one of the reasons.
Example (cgwin):
export CLASSPATH="foo.jar;bar.jar;"
(use set instead of export in cmd prompt)

Desperately Seeking Help!!
I paid and downloaded a program from online which was 100% guaranteed with a 30 day moneyback guarantee, well thats a joke...what liars...this is what they have posted Q) I get an error message when I install it on my BlackBerry. What could have gone wrong?

A) If after transferring the files (which initiates all the actions given in its menu) it does not run or you get any error screen, for example “Uncaught Exception: Java.Lang.NoclassDeffound Error” or “error 907 invalid jar” then there has been some error in transferring the files correctly to your cell phone.

It won't be possible for us to pin-point exactly what has caused this without actually seeing the details.

There could be various causes for your files not getting transferred depending on your computer configuration.

There is a strong possibility that a pop-up blocker, your firewall settings, your spyware or anti-virus program or any similar app. is coming in the way of installation.

In this case you will have to let your computer engineer take a look at your computer settings and get the software transferred properly.

The name of the program is Cell-Spy_Brand_New_2011, they also guarateed it was guaranteed to work on almost any cell phone.
I can give you the name of the files I don't know what else to do or how to do it...so sorry.

Blooover2.jar Executable Jar File, Blooover2b.jar, bluesniff-0.1.tar.tar, BTExplorer.jar, and btscanner-2.0.tar.tar.

I get the application successfully installed on my phone, but when I try to run it, I get
Uncaught Exception:java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.
Honestly I have been going almost 48 hrs straight trying to find a solution, any help at all would be so appreciated, and thanks so much.

A very important point for all xml document.......

I think most problem of XML can be solved, especially when you think that everything I coded is fine........and the output is not that one as I think.

If you write java code with any IDE, when u run a file, it will be saved and compiled by default......

But for XML files, every times you modified it, you have to Build it to get the correct answer........

Build the Project and have a useful time.....

I'm trying to deploy a struts1 application (compiled with java6) on tomcat 5.0.25 & java 1.6.0_24 in a SOLARIS machine. I get the following error when i'm trying to access the home page

javax.servlet.ServletException: javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/TagExtraInfo
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/TagExtraInfo

However the same application (without any changes) works fine in tomcat5.0.25 & java 1.6.0_21,java 1.5.0_20 (when compiled with java5) in SOLARIS expand »& on tomcat5.0.25 & java 1.6.0 on AIX.

Since the tomcat version is the same throught the different deployments i belive i need not check if there are multiple jars (in my application & in tomcat) containing the class javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.TagExtraInfo.

Also i checked in the JAVA_HOME/jre/lib & JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext folders to check if there are jars containing the class.I couldn't find any.

Nick said...

Another common issue (not sure if this has been mentioned in the comments,there are 95+ and I'm not going to read them all), is that your .java file is written within a package, so when you compile it into a .class file, and for example a JApplet tries to render it on a website, it is no longer in the package so it won't render properly. This was an issue for me. Hopefully this helps someone :)

Hi Javin,

I'm planning to consolidate and share common NoClassDefFoundError problem cases I have worked on last month for an IT client. I have part #1 available java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: How to resolve and I’m hoping this will be a good complement to your great article on the subject. A good understanding of Java Classloaders is key to understand this problem in Java EE world so extra focus will be put on that.

I also want to add that your Blog has been a good inspiration for me to start writing and sharing on Java related problem patterns and I thank you for that.

Thanks.

Hello Javin

Thank you very much for you post. I am getting this error for a simple thing which I am doing...

I installed jdk1.6.0_33 at 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33' in my system and I have jre6 at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6'. My path envrionment variable has ' C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33\bin' and classpath variable has 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_33\lib'.

Now I just run javac from my command prompt in my Windows 7 system and I get -

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/tools/java
ain
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.tools.javac.Main

Can you please guide me to solve this problem, I have already spent trying different configurations with my path, classpath variables. And I have also reinstalled it many times. But I still get this error.

Thanks again

Hi,

Nice blog! Is there an email address I can contact you in private?

Anonymous said...

I solved my problem. I reinstalled the Jre6 and jdk1.6.0_25 in the same Java Folder (i.e. C:\Program Files\Java). And set my path to
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin;C:\.;"

and JAVA_HOME to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25". I removed the classpath variable.

And my 'javac' command works. I think one of the reasons my javac command didn't work may be that:
(i) My jdk and jre were in different folders. Now, I kept them in single folders.
(ii) I reinstalled checking the ocrrect versions.

Any one of the reason might ahve solved the problem.

Thank You for your help guys.
Sam

Hassan said...

Thanks for this article,
a quick comment is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError could also happen when your class fails while loading at runtime, for example you have a class with a static block which does some initialization work. so if static block throws any runtimeException then caller class will get the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError exception.

Using Eclipse IDE . Once I realized that this error may occur during compile time I went to Project->Clean->Select Project you want to clean. What this will do is delete all the compiled files for the selected project and re-compile that project hopefully fixing any error that happened during last compile. Worked for me. Hope this helps

Thanks for sharing your experience Anonymous, Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError has many ways to surface, recently I encounter in a totally different way. I create a tar file using cygwin and extracted on solaris box only to encounter Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, later I found that many class files has extension .cl or .clas or .cla especially those which have long package hierarchy. after using find command in solaris to find all those files and correcting them, application worked fine.

Thanks for this article. I had the same error with classes in a jar file. Now i copied the jar file to the libs folder and added it to the project. Thank god I am a happier man after 24 hours of confusion

Dont know if it has been mentioned yet, but this was the problem for me. So simple and yet so annoying and hard to find a solution for it on google:

If your compliance level is higher than the one the server is using, that can also result in a NoClassDefFoundError. e.g. you are using java1.7 in your eclipse and the server is using 1.6.

I am creating a java web application and I am having this problem with the DataBaseHelper class. Here is my code:

<%
List computers = ComputerDatabaseHelper.getAllComputers();
if(computers!=null)
{
for(int ix=0; ix computers = ComputerDatabaseHelper.getAllComputers();

I solved it! The problem was with the creating of the data base. So I just changed the data base name in the hibernate file. This worked for me :)

Anonymous said...

another frustrating case for newbies:

javac will work with -classpath in any order, but for java, the -classpath argument must come before the class whose main method you are executing.

Hi, I'm getting this error from today. The site was working fine for a litte time, I don't made any changes and I'm getting this error today. The host server said me that they didn't change anything, but I'm not getting this error locally, I'm using Ecilpse and Tomcat 6 and everything works fine locally. I read all your post but I'm not sure waht to do, I don't have the error at my computer, only on server side and nothing was changed, I really don't understand, I'm really new in Java Web developpment.
My error is :

Hello Marie, try restarting Tomcat, there is not much clue about the issue, but looks like problem with one of the JSP page, I would suggest using isolation method to debug e.g. try removing JSP one by one, to find the problematic one.

Anonymous said...

Thanks, it solved it

But it's a little unclear and I had a hard time figuring it out.

My error was due to ExceptionInInitializerError, but I didn't see this in the log. This is because my program executes hundreds of threads calling the culprit class, and only on the first time the ExceptionInInitializerError appears. All subsequent calls just give NoClassDefFoundError, which was what my console was spammed with.

Unknown said...

I just wanted to mention that I encountered the NoClassDefFoundError on a project I was working on. The server being setup was using a different version of Java by IBM, rather than Oracle's. On my development machine it worked for me, but on the server I got that error. The issue was resolved once they redid Java using Oracle's version (and Tomcat as well). This may be the solution to someone's problem here as well to consider.

I found one another common reason. If you create the java file inside a package using IDE like eclipse, you will find the package name on the top of your java file like "package pkgName". If you try to run this file from command prompt, you will get the NoClassDefFoundError error. Remove the package name from the java file and use the commands in the command prompt. Wasted 3 hours for this. -- Abhi

Hello anonymous, only include relevant log4j jar files (version 2.) , that would resolve this error. I have also encountered same error Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder, I had removed all of the log4j jar files except :"log4j-api-2.0-beta9.jar" and "log4j-core-2.0-beta9.jar",this has resolved the problem for me.

it may because of in compatible jre..!!! check it out..
ie, you have compiled it using say javac 6 compiler and tries to execute it with java 1.4 java.

this will cause the error..

I managed to resolve my problem, it was because of incorrect classpath. Even though I had all three required JAR and Java class file for program in same directory and I am running program from there, Java wasn't able to resolve that. I tried following command and it worked perfectly for me :

java -cp mail-1.4.5.jar:smtp-1.4.4.jar:activation-1.1.jar:. JavaMailSender
Sent email successfully....

Also notice current directory denoted by dot (.) at very last of classpath argument. Since I was running my program on Linux, I have used colon as separator (:)

Is there someone having the NoClassDefFoundError using shared folders in Virtualbox?

I have had a weird situation here. There are three virtual machines (two WinXP, one Win7) in my development machine, and in one of the WinXP machines I can't run jar files that are located in shared folders by Virtualbox (just the virtualbox folder, not the real ones), they crash with the NoClassDefFoundError error. In the other two machines works well, the same shared folder, the same jar, compiled with Netbeans with propper manifest and lib folder, under the same java version 1.7.0_51.

Does anyone knows what is going on?

Hi,

I am trying to create an end-point (JMS) for my middleware performance testing in IBM Rational Performance Tester. The following are the steps that I have followed for using JMS .jar files for TIBCO EMS Middleware Web Services, with the 'How to change the default JMS libraries in IBM Rational Performance Tester Technote (FAQ)' document as reference.

1. Changed the jar files as per the doc attached since the protocol used it TIBCO EMS (JMS).
2. Clicking the generic services client -> add an end point request.

When I do this, I am getting the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError in the exception trace log and am not able to proceed.


Kindly provide your suggestions or solutions, to identify the root cause of the issue and to solve the same, in order to proceed further.


Thanks and sincere regards.

Hi,

I am getting
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:org/objectweb/asm/ClassVisitor when running Cobetura using ant. This issue is faced only one particular machine, the same is not reproducible when ran on other machines.
Checked the classpath and the asm jar file is available in the classpath. Only option i have is uninstall the jdk1.6.0_x and install next version.

Please let me know if there is anything else i need to check.

Thanks.

Sometime, when you move from one version to another of same library or change the JAR file, you start getting this error, because earlier version was including a dependent JAR which is not includeded by newer version. To find out those dependent jar, you can take help of maven transitive dependency. If you are using Eclipse and Maven then you can check these trasitive depedency in Eclipse POM editor, alternatively you can also use mvn dependency:tree to see all transitive dependency in tree format. This is very helpful tool and helped me a lot to deal with NoClassDefFoundError due to update.

I really appreciate your taking the time to publish this. I'm getting the following exception in Eclipse when starting the Tomcat server. The error is thrown from a call made during Servlet Initialize code. The WAR project references a JAR project which has the Maven dependencies in it, and the jar and class files are there. Any help is greatly appreciated, here is the error message:

Hello @FlatBallFlyer, this error says that it is not able to find org/apache/commons/compress/archivers/ArchiveEntry class, which is inside commons-compress-1.4.1.jar file.

Please add commons-compress-1.4.1.jar in your CLASSPATH e.g. inside your application's WEB-INF/lib directory and restart tomcat server.

javin paul said...

@Anonymous, error java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/common/base/Function means JVM is looking for a class called com.google.common.base.Function, which is likely from Google's Guava library but not able to found in your application's classpath.

Please add guava-18.0.jar into your CLASSPATH, this should solve your problem , if you are facing this issue in Java Web application, put this JAR file into WEB-INF/lib folder.

Hi,
I'm getting this error when my WAR is doployed on Tomcat (Centos server)
javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBClient
at org.jboss.ejb.client.naming.ejb.EjbNamingContext.doCreateProxy(EjbNamingContext.java:221)

...

But it works well when I deploy the same WAR on local Tomcat (Windows7) and it also works on a local VM (Ubuntu).

More details :
- org.jboss.ejb.client.naming.ejb.EjbNamingContext.doCreateProxy(EjbNamingContext.java:221) : doCreateProxy() invoke a static method called createProxy() which is in org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBClient class
- The class org.jboss.ejb.client.EJBClient is located in a jar called "jboss-ejb-client-1.0.30.Final-redhat-1.jar"

Thanks in advance,
Mld.

javin paul said...

Hello Mld, just check if JAR file jboss-ejb-client-1.0.30.Final-redhat-1.jar is present in WEB-INF/lib of your WAR file or in the lib directory of Tomcat home directory.

Hi, my program ist working fine as long as I run it in Netbeans. The second I try to run the deployed version I get following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Example.jar

I have different frames in my application. Ones I press the button on the start frame nothing happens. The second frame that is supposed to pop up won't be displayed. I used Netbeans and have all the classes in the same package as public. In my code I simply start a new frame like this:

NewFrame newFrame = new NewFrame();
newFrame.setVisible(true);

What am I doing wrong? Please help.

javin paul said...

@DueWRP18, check what is your Main-Class attribute in manifest.mf file, you can find it inside META-INF folder of your JAR file. Use Winzip or WinRAR to open your JAR file. I am suspecting this attribute is not set properly and Java is not able to find main class to execute.

javin paul said...

@Prateek, did you declare package graphics in your Applet class MyWholeApplet? Similarly to access that you need to use graphics.MyWholeApplet.

Unknown said...

yaa i declare graphics to the very first line of my Appet code by
package graphics;


and to run i used command
appletviewer graphics.demo

demo is my html code in which my applet class get reside in it

javin paul said...

If you are using HTML file then you don't need to use appletViewer to see it working, just open the HTML file. If you want to run Applet using appletViewer, just trying adding this line in your Applet class

/* <applet code = "graphics.MyWholeApplet" width = 300 height = 300> </applet> */

and run like

appletViewer graphics.MyWholeApplet

The previous post can be ignored. I found the resolution. It had something to do with the DISPLAY variable been set properly.
