Vaadin, Jetty, Spring Data, Maven - Exception

Question

I'm trying to integrate Spring Data within our Vaadin project. So I tried running the following sample code which uses the same technologies:

https://github.com/henrikerola/vaadin-spring-boot-todo

The only thing I changed is that I added jetty as we need to use it for our project.

Unfortunately, after jetty:run I'm getting the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: org.apache.juli.logging.Log: Provider org.eclipse.jetty.apache.jsp.JuliLog not a subtype

My pom.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>...

Any follow-up? I'm having a similar problem with the same exception, can't seem to find a solution. — Dariusz, Oct 02 '15 at 09:42

I haven't had the chance to dig up the actual reason for this, but I suspect a classpath issue between jetty & tomcat which is preferred by spring-boot.

Anyhow, if you plan on further using spring-boot which is probably easiest, the spring-boot documentation offers an example of replacing tomcat with jetty, and it's simple as adding the following to your pom:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jetty</artifactId>
</dependency>

Also, instead of running mvn jetty-run you'd probably want to run the demo.DemoApplication so it can properly discover the spring configuration and initialize the context.

If you plan on avoiding spring-boot, then remove the parent definition as well as the other boot dependencies and plugins. Also, remember to manually setup the application to initialize the spring context on starup.

3 years later, this gave me the precious hint I needed! I needed to exclude one more thing from `spring-mobile` for this to work though: `org.springframework.boot spring-boot-starter-logging` — Eugene, May 15 '18 at 13:27

For what it's worth after two years: The error message tells you that org.eclipse.jetty.apache.jsp.JuliLog is not a subclass/implementation of org.apache.juli.logging.Log.

This happens if there are multiple jars containing the same class (org.apache.juli.logging.Log in this case I suppose) and multiple classloaders providing the same class (that are regarded as different in instance-of and isAssignableFrom-checks).

Check the jars that were downloaded for the occurrence of org.apache.juli.logging.Log.class and see where they are coming from. After adjusting that in your pom, you should be able to get rid off the error.
