Hi Team,

we are using 21.4 dfc along with spring boot, during IDF session creation it's throwing NoClassDefFoundError. when I create seperate java project and try to execute below code it's not throwing any exception.

spring project some jar conflicting with dfc.jar , is there any way to figure out which jars causing problem?.

IDfClientX clientx = new DfClientX();

IDfClient client = clientx.getLocalClient();

// create a Session Manager object

IDfSessionManager sMgr = client.newSessionManager();

// create an IDfLoginInfo object named loginInfoObj

IDfLoginInfo loginInfoObj = clientx.getLoginInfo();

loginInfoObj.setUser(user);

if (pass != null) {

loginInfoObj.setPassword(pass);

}

loginInfoObj.setDomain(null);

sMgr.setIdentity(docbase, loginInfoObj);

Did you patch log4j2? If you did, perhaps you forgot to update the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file within dfc.jar?

Thank you for the reply

No I didn't patch any log4j am using as is DFC jar. Also, as I mentioned when I place the dfc21.4.jar in spring project it's failing to create session. if i place same create session code in standalone project it's working fine.

I've used DFC and spring boot successfully before. In any case, I recommend that you move to DFC 22.1 since it comes with the latest log4j2 libraries (i.e. without the infamous Log4shell vulnerability). Patching DFC 21.4 is a pain in the neck.

if you are using DFC 21.4, then update classpath to use java log4j-1.2-api-2.17.1.jar log4j-api-2.17.1.jar log4j-core-2.17.1.jar, this will resolve the issue (dfc.jar/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF refers to wrong versions of above jars)

Hi,

I had the same problem with dfc 23.2 and spring boot. I resolved the problem adding log4j-jul and log4j-slf4j-impl. I also exclude from spring-boot-starter the artifact spring-boot-starter-logging.

Marco, Are you using Spring Boot/DFC with SSO?

Many thanks

Hi JCHall,

we use Microsoft Entra ID tokens to authenticate our custom spring boot app and then dfc login ticket to authenticate to documentum.
