Starnge exception

[torben.frojonck]

In a servlet (in a method called from the doPost method) I have the following code:

Class detailClass=Class.forName("dk.frojonck.pingtest.schedule.PingTest");
I get a strange exception, when this code is executed:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/oro/text/regex/MalformedPatternException
at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:164)
at dk.frojonck.pingtest.servlet.CreatePingTestServlet.createPingTest(CreatePingTestServlet.java:123)

I do not understand the exception, since it is about some regular expression class, wich I do not use.

I am using jboss AS version 4.0.5 running on Fedora Core 5.

Can somebody give me a hit, what os wrong?

The problem is related to the parameters the createPingTest method (at line 123) is passing to Class.forName. Could you post the contents of the createPingTest method, and identify line number 123.

Hello Peter,

Here is the code. I have marked the call til Class.forName with bold.

private void createPingTest(
HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out=resp.getWriter();
out.println("");
out.println("Dan test case");
out.println("");

try {
// Build up the job
String server=req.getParameter("server");
String emailAdress=req.getParameter("email");
if (!Configurator.isValidEmailAddress(emailAdress)){
out.println("Du skal angive en valid adresse.");
out.println("<a href=\"definerpingjob.jsp\">definer test" );
out.println("");
out.close();
return;
}
Integer tid=new Integer(req.getParameter("tid"));
if (tid==null || tid.intValue()<=0){
out.println("Antal test skal være st?rre end 0.");
out.println("<a href=\"definerpingjob.jsp\">definer test" );
out.println("");
out.close();
return;
}
Integer frekvens=new Integer(req.getParameter("frekvens"));
if (frekvens==null || frekvens.intValue()<=0){
out.println("Tid mellem to test skal være st?rre end 0.");
out.println("<a href=\"definerpingjob.jsp\">definer test" );
out.println("");
out.close();
return;
}
Integer husnr=new Integer(req.getParameter("husnr"));
if (husnr==null || husnr.intValue()<=0){
out.println("Husnummer skal bare være et tal");
out.println("<a href=\"definerpingjob.jsp\">definer test" );
out.println("");
out.close();
return;
}

The next question is, which JVM are you using? JBoss usually prints this information out within the first 50 or so lines on the console. Here is what I get:

14:42:52,281 INFO [ServerInfo] Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM 1.5.0_08-b03, Sun Microsystems Inc.

[torben.frojonck]

Hello Peter,

I am using

00:51:38,401 INFO [ServerInfo] Java version: 1.5.0_06,Sun Microsystems Inc.
00:51:38,401 INFO [ServerInfo] Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_06-b05,Sun Microsystems Inc.

I looked at the source for Class.forName, and for the native method, Class.forName0. I actually used the 1.4.2 JVM source, I don't have ready access to the 1.5.0 source, but I think it is relatively the same. I did not see regular expressions in use anywhere. I am now suspecting the PingTest class. Could you post the source?

[torben.frojonck]

Hi Peter,

You are right . I am using regular expression in this class. And this is probably the casue for the exception.

But how do I correct. It is an application I am moving from from an old version of JBOSS (version 3.2 I think) to now 4.0.5.

In the old version of JBOSS I had to place the jar file with regular expression in server/default/lib directory to get it to work.

Do I now need to placeit in WEB-INF/lib ? I can see JBOSS has changed it way how to load classes?

I have not tried it yet, but I will do later today.
If it works, thanks for your help, If it does not work, I would appreciate som more hints.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your help. I just need to put regular expression class in the WEB-INF/lib.
