How to fix 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tinkerpop/gremlin/process/traversal/dsl/graph/GraphTraversalSource$GraphTraversalSourceStub'? - spring

Question

I am trying to initialize an in-memory graph using TinkerGraph.
Firstly, i have defined the bean in my context xml file and tried to initialise the TinkerGraph.
My intention is to unit test the classes that i have created for forming the gremlin queries, the end queries that i get from these classes are in the form of a string, so in order to execute them through the TinkerGraph, i have the used the approach given in the following post:
Get Gremlin query as a String and execute it in java without submitting it to the GremlinServer
I would also like to know whether the approach that i have taken is the preferred approach, for running the gremlin queries as part of the unit testing?
Following are the dependencies i have included in the pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tinkerpop</groupId>
<artifactId>tinkergraph-gremlin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.4</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tinkerpop</groupId>
<artifactId>gremlin-groovy</artifactId>
<version>3.0.2-incubating</version>
</dependency>
EmbeddedGremlinQueryEngine is as follows:
import org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.driver.Result;
import org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.driver.ResultSet;
import org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.groovy.jsr223.GremlinGroovyScriptEngine;
import org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.process.traversal.dsl.graph.GraphTraversalSource;
import org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.structure.Graph;
import org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.tinkergraph.structure.TinkerGraph;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import javax.script.Bindings;
import javax.script.ScriptEngine;
import javax.script.ScriptException;
import java.util.List;
public class UcsEmbeddedGremlinQueryEngine implements GremlinEngine{
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(UcsEmbeddedGremlinQueryEngine.class);
private GraphTraversalSource graphTraversalSource = null;
private Graph graph = null;
private ScriptEngine engine = null;
private Bindings bindings = null;
public UcsEmbeddedGremlinQueryEngine() {
graph = TinkerGraph.open();
graphTraversalSource = graph.traversal();
engine = new GremlinGroovyScriptEngine();
bindings = engine.createBindings();
bindings.put("g", graphTraversalSource);
}
public void shutdown() throws Exception {
if (graph != null){
graph.close();
}
logger.info("TinkerGraph shutdown complete.");
}
#Override
public List<Result> query(String query) {
List<Result> res = null;
try {
ResultSet results = (ResultSet) engine.eval(query, bindings);
res = results.all().join();
for (Result r : res) {
System.out.println("result: " + r + '\n');
}
} catch (ScriptException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return res;
}
// This function reads the initScript and run them as gremlin queries.
public synchronized void initialize() {
logger.debug("Initializing embedded TinkerGraph. This will only take a few seconds....");
//TODO include the execution of queries as part of initialisation
}
}
Stack trace is as follows:

EmbeddedGremlinQueryEngine is defined as a bean in the xml file, when the bean is loaded i get the error as
Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tinkerpop/gremlin/process/traversal/dsl/graph/GraphTraversalSource$GraphTraversalSourceStub
I don't understand how the GraphTraversalSourceStub comes into picture during initialization, I was not able to find any information about it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I think your problem is that you're:
using really really old versions of TinkerPop
the old versions you're using are probably incompatible
I'm not sure if you have a reason for using 3.2.4, but if so, make sure gremlin-groovy is also 3.2.4. Note that the 3.2.x line of code is largely not maintained at this point with the last release being 3.2.11 about 6 months ago. If you are developing a new application then I highly recommend that you simply utilize the latest version of 3.4.2 which released a few weeks ago.
As for your testing approach, I suppose that's fine. If you have test Gremlin strings then you really don't have much other choice in the matter, short of using Gremlin Server. Obviously providing a test harness for GremlinGroovyScriptEngine is a lot easier to do.

For version 3.4.0 you need at least the following classpath.
set cp=%cp%;C:\pathToM2Repo\org\apache\tinkerpop\gremlin-core\3.4.0\gremlin-core-3.4.0.jar
