UPDATE: I have installed RAD8.0 With WAS 7.0.023. After that I have imported EAR file in to my local workspace, then I build the workspace then deployed on WASserver. so I am getting this on while publishing the application. But the same code is working on other's environment

Answer 1

If you are saying that the same code is working on some other computer but not yours, can you ensure it has been compiled correctly?

May be you can try compiling from the Command Line instead of Eclipse.

Also, if you are still compiling from the Eclipse, then ensure Add directory entries option is checked on the first screen of the export wizard.

May be you want to follow THIS post - specifically the Caution section and see if you have followed all of them correctly.

I have seen this problem quite a number of time and because of the ill-compiled JAR files and in specific the below two lines did not get compiled properly:

@Component(“<your-storage-extension-class-name>”)
@Scope(“prototype”)

You may want to check if some additional settings need to be done in your editor to properly compile and export your code.

UPDATE: Not sure if you updated your question, but earlier when I read your question, I guess it was for the Storage Extension..isn't it?

Answer 2

From the stacktrace it seems that you are missing the logging jar file. Ensure that slf4j-api.jar is found on the classpath. Be sure to package the ear with not only the Tridion config files, but also with this minimum set of jar files you can find on your installation media.

Answer 3

A NoSuchMethodError exception indicates you have a different JAR versions between your compilation environment and your runtime environment.

So you compiled your code with a JAR version that contains class LocationAwareLogger with method log(Marker, String, String, Object, Throwable).

Now at runtime (on WAS), you are missing that JAR and instead you have different version of that JAR containing another version of class LocationAwareLogger that does not contain that particular log method.

The fix would be to copy the JARs you compiled your code with to the runtime WAS server.
