Jetty JNDI resource fails: “java.lang.ClassNotFoun

Question

When I started the Jetty (over Gretty plugin) I get the CNF exception. When I run

gradlew :MyWebApplication:appRun -ds > g.log I see following configuration in debug:

See the CP part:

here is the jetty.xml:

It's Jetty server configuration for Oracle JNDI DS. Unfortunately Gretty plugin reports "Config error" with no detail:

and Jetty ClassLoader produce:

15:47:58.312 [ERROR] [system.err] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource
15:47:58.313 [ERROR] [system.err]       at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:382)

15:47:58.313 [ERROR] [system.err]       at org.eclipse.jetty.util.Loader.loadClass(Loader.java:86)

it's obviously CL issue, but I don't know where to add ojdbc.jar to be usable by jetty. (I do not like to add it into java.class.path System Property, but like to use it only for all web applications in build).

Answer 1

Classes loaded by jetty.xml are part of the Server classpath.

But your oracle class is configured to be part of your webapp's classpath.

The Server cannot see into your WebApp due to standard WebApp classpath isolation.

Move your oracle jar to the Server classpath.
