I have had an interesting issue wiht NoClassDefFoundError in JavaEE working with Liberty server. I was using IMS resource adapters and my server.xml had already resource adapter for imsudbJXA.rar. When I added new adapter for imsudbXA.rar, I would start getting this error for instance objects for DLIException, IMSConnectionSpec or SQLInteractionSpec. I could not figure why but I resolved it by creating new server.xml for my work using only imsudbXA.rar. I am sure using multiple resource adapters in server.xml is fine, I just had no time to look into that.

Java ClassNotFoundException vs NoClassDefFoundError

黑ClassLoader铝

静态与动态类加载

静态(隐式)类加载——引用、实例化或继承的结果。

MyClass myClass = new MyClass();

动态(显式)类加载是class . forname ()， loadClass()， findSystemClass()的结果

MyClass myClass = (MyClass) Class.forName("MyClass").newInstance();

每个类都有一个ClassLoader，它使用loadClass(字符串名);这就是为什么

explicit class loader uses implicit class loader

NoClassDefFoundError是显式类装入器的一部分。Error是为了保证在编译期间出现这个类，但现在(在运行时)它不存在。

ClassNotFoundException是隐式类装入器的一部分。Exception对于可以额外使用的场景(例如反射)具有弹性。

如果有人因为java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Logger错误来到这里，在我的例子中，它是因为我使用了log4j 2(但我没有添加它附带的所有文件)，而一些依赖库使用了log4j 1。解决方案是添加Log4j 1。X桥:log4j-1.2-api-<version>.jar，随log4j 2而来。更多信息在log4j 2迁移中。

对此，我的解决方案是为缺失的特定类“利用”类路径内容。在我的情况下，我有2个依赖项，虽然我能够成功地编译使用javac…，我不能运行产生的类文件使用java…，因为BouncyCastle jar中的Dynamic类不能在运行时加载。

javac --classpath "ext/commons-io-2.11.0;ext/bc-fips-1.0.2.3" hello.java

因此在编译时和运行时，JVM知道在哪里获取Apache Commons和BouncyCastle依赖项，然而，当运行这个时，我得到了

Error: Unable to initialize main class hello
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
org/bouncycastle/jcajce/provider/BouncyCastleFipsProvider

因此，根据类路径，我在相同的位置手动创建了一个名为ext的新文件夹，然后在其中放置了BouncyCastle jar，以确保在运行时可以找到它。只要结果清单中指定了jar的位置，您就可以将jar相对于类文件或jar文件放置。注意，我只需要利用包含丢失类文件的一个jar。

确保在module:app和module:lib中匹配:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '22.0.1'
    packagingOptions {
    }

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 17
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 11
        versionName "2.1"
    }

虽然这可能是由于编译时和运行时之间的类路径不匹配造成的，但这并不一定是真的。

在这种情况下，记住两到三个不同的异常是很重要的:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException This exception indicates that the class was not found on the classpath. This indicates that we were trying to load the class definition, and the class did not exist on the classpath. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError This exception indicates that the JVM looked in its internal class definition data structure for the definition of a class and did not find it. This is different than saying that it could not be loaded from the classpath. Usually this indicates that we previously attempted to load a class from the classpath, but it failed for some reason - now we're trying to use the class again (and thus need to load it, since it failed last time), but we're not even going to try to load it, because we failed loading it earlier (and reasonably suspect that we would fail again). The earlier failure could be a ClassNotFoundException or an ExceptionInInitializerError (indicating a failure in the static initialization block) or any number of other problems. The point is, a NoClassDefFoundError is not necessarily a classpath problem.
