Springboot Strange Resource Loading Behavior - spring-boot

I'm working on a springboot 1.5.1 application that I'm trying to load a WSDL included in my resources directory in the wsdl directory. Depending on where my application executes I'm getting different results (command line, intellij, cloud foundry) and I can't seem to get all three to work at the same time.
I've tried several ways of locating the resource:
From prior to the migration to springboot we had this (worked in IntelliJ but not java -jar myboot.jar):
this.getClass().getResource("/wsdl/my.wsdl");
I switched it to the typically more correct version and got it to work in IntelliJ and java -jar but not Cloud Foundry:
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("/wsdl/my.wsdl");
I switched it to use the Spring Resource Loader version and it worked in IntelliJ and CloudFoundry but not java -jar:
#Value("classpath:/wsdl/my.wsdl")
private Resource wsdlResource;
wsdlResource.getURL();
On the command line what I've noticed is that it seems to be thinking that BOOT-INF/classes is a JAR file (Note the ! after classes):
Caused by: javax.xml.ws.WebServiceException: Failed to access the WSDL at: jar:file:/C:/dev/redacted/build/libs/redacted.jar!/BOOT-INF/classes!/wsdl/my.wsdl. It failed with:
JAR entry BOOT-INF/classes!/wsdl/my.wsdl not found in C:\dev\redacted\build\libs\redacted.jar.
From looking at IntelliJ's URL, it's referring to the actual source folder which explains why it seems to always work.
What is causing this and how might I universally load these class path resources successfully with springboot?

Quarkus xml Parser DocumentBuilderFactory cannot be found, but only when using quarkus-run.jar

When packaging our app with mvn package everything works fine. Then when we start our app with java -jar target\quarkus-app\quarkus-run.jar the app silently crashes. While debugging we found that it crashes while parsing an xml InputStream. It happens while initialising some classes.
This is the stacktrace that we had to dig out ourselves:
Exception occurred in target VM: Provider for javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory cannot be found
javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider for javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory cannot be found
at javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(Unknown Source)
at org.optaplanner.core.impl.io.jaxb.GenericJaxbIO.parseXml(GenericJaxbIO.java:209)
at org.optaplanner.core.impl.io.jaxb.SolverConfigIO.read(SolverConfigIO.java:15)
at org.optaplanner.core.config.solver.SolverConfig.createFromXmlReader(SolverConfig.java:199)
at org.optaplanner.core.config.solver.SolverConfig.createFromXmlInputStream(SolverConfig.java:173)
at org.optaplanner.core.config.solver.SolverConfig.createFromXmlInputStream(SolverConfig.java:160)
When packaging the app in an uberjar this problem does not occur. Same when using dev.
We use graalvm-ce-java17-22.2.0, together with the 2.11.2.Final version of quarkus and the 8.29.0.Final version of optaplanner.
We tried to verify that there aren't any xml exclusion in the dependencies. Also we checked if quarkus and the quarkus maven-compiler-plugin are of the same version. Also we looked into the compiled jarfiles, if the xml we want to read is present. If it wouldn't be present, the code would crash even earlier. The class javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory is not listed in the quarkus-app-dependencies.txt
Adding the quarkus-optaplanner extension helped to identify the logger issue. So the problem with the silent crash is resolved. Adding quarkus-jaxp to the dependencies gets rid of the FactoryConfigurationError and everything works as expected.

Spring Boot Dev Tools Restart Not Working

I'm trying to get restart working with Spring Boot DevTools. I have been following the instructions provided here: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/using-boot-devtools.html
I am using gradle and included this in my build.gradle file:
bootJar {
excludeDevtools = false
}
I create the jar file and run the jar file:
java -jar app.jar
I am able to connect to the running application through Intellij. When I make a change I can see in the Intellij console that the updated classes are uploaded to the running process. And in the logs of the running process, I see the process attempts to restart. However, the process quits and spits out this log:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Failed to parse configuration class [com.example.BootApplication]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [com/example/ExampleService.class] cannot be opened because it does not exist.
ExampleService is the class I modified.
I attempted to google the heck out of this, but could find nothing. I looked at many tutorials online, but could find nothing.
Has anyone encountered this or has anything I can try, would be much appreciated.
The issue is based on how compilation of a file works.
When you compile a file, it first deletes the already compiled file and then adds a new one. During this process, file system watcher consider it as two different updates (deletion of file and addition of a new file) if the poll time is too low. And deletion of file triggers deletion of file from the remote application and tries to restart the application without the file you changed and therefore, you get this error.
I was facing the similar problem but solved it by adding following in application.properties
spring.devtools.restart.pollInterval=10s
You can change the pollInterval that suits you

Jersey bug when starting Spring-boot app Unix style

A question has already been posted here at Spring-boot jersey maven failed to run war file and its author has found a work around to get the Spring-boot app to run, but it's still an annoying bug.
Basically, when running a Spring-boot app with a Jersey configuration using ResourceConfig's public final ResourceConfig packages(final String... packages) with java -jar command or using Unix style ./app.jar start the following exception occurs:
java.io.FileNotFoundException:/path/app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war!/WEB-INF/classes (No such file or directory)
Caused by: org.glassfish.jersey.server.internal.scanning.ResourceFinderException:
This does not occur when the app is ran with mvn spring-boor:run.
Not using packages("com.company.app.rest") is a work around, but it's a pain not to be able to have Jersey scan a base package.
Is this listed as a bug by the Spring-boot team?
I think it is but for some reason nobody complained hard enough. Can you please share your issue on #3413?

Custom Mediator ClassNotFoundException TransactionSynchronization

I make a custom mediator class that used spring jdbc to access data from database. I make a jar from that class and deploy it in WSO2_HOME/repository/components/lib. After that I add the following jar to the same folder : spring-jdbc.jar, spring-tx.jar. But when I tried the custom mediator there is an error "ClassNotFoundException org\springframework\transaction\support\TransactionSynchronization". The problem is I'm pretty sure that "TransactionSynchronization" class is available in the spring-tx.jar. Can anyone help me to solve this problem? :)
One reason may be there are two packages in your class path which has the same 'TransactionSynchronization' class. Can you try the below.
What do you have in your WSO2_HOME/repository/components/dropins directory? Delete all jars inside dropins and restart the server and recheck for the issue.
If the error is still there try deleting spring-tx.jar from WSO2_HOME/repository/components/lib & WSO2_HOME/repository/components/dropins. Then restat the server. Then check whether you are getting the same error or different error?
I am experiencing the same behavior. I have a custom spring mediator that calls out to a database for role based authNZ. I am running esb v 4.7.0.
I downloaded spring-tx-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar from the maven repository and copied it to /usr/local/wso2/wso2esb-4.7.0/repository/components/lib in my environment, then restarted the ESB. When I issue requests to my proxy service, the same class not found exception occurs.
I was examining jar contents today and when I checked the spring-tx jar in /usr/local/wso2/wso2esb-4.7.0/repository/components/lib, the class in present:
jar tf spring-tx-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar | grep TransactionSynchronization
org/springframework/transaction/support/TransactionSynchronization.class
When I do the same in /usr/local/wso2/wso2esb-4.7.0/repository/components/dropins after restart of the esb, the class is not present:
jar tf ../dropins/spring_tx_3.1.0.RELEASE_1.0.0.jar
spring-tx-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar
META-INF/
META-INF/p2.inf
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
Notice that the spring-tx jar is not included in the OSGi bundle after restart of Synapse.
I will investigate further tomorrow, including building an OSGi bundle that contains the Spring dependencies I need via Eclipse

Is spymemchached pre-loaded on heroku tomcat instances?

I am getting weird errors on Heroku cedar using hibernate-memcached 1.3:
Caught CNFE decoding 438 bytes of data java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.cache.entry.CacheEntry
Somehow hibernate-memcached 1.3 is failing to work with spymemcached 2.8.1 and up.
It does not matter if i explicitly list spymemcached 2.7.3 in my pom.xml or i set spymemcached scope as provided - i always get CNFE
I was able to replicate this issue locally when i upgraded to spymemcached 2.8.1
Thanks.
If you are using webapp-runner.jar to run your app, then yes, you're right: spymemcached class files are contained in the jar file to support caching of session data.
According to webapp-runner this is true for version 7.0.29.1 or newer.
The most recent version that does not contain spymemcached classes I was able to find, though, is 7.0.22.1.
I suspect that you can work around your problem by downgrading webapp-runner to version 7.0.22.1.
At least that worked for me when I ran into similar problems, getting exceptions like this:
org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException:
Error loading class [net.spy.memcached.spring.MemcachedClientFactoryBean]
for bean with name 'memcachedClient' defined in class path resource [memcached-context.xml]:
problem with class file or dependent class;
nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/beans/factory/FactoryBean
These problems only occurred when I ran my war file with webapp-runner.jar. Running it from within Eclipse or with a local plain vanilla Tomcat 7 worked just fine.
