Description
The following error may occur when starting the adapter: ============================================== SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings. SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/opt/tibco/tpcl/5.12/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.31.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class] SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/opt/tibco/tpcl/5.12/lib/log4j-slf4j-impl-2.17.1.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class] SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/opt/tibco/tpcl/5.12/lib/slf4j-simple-1.7.31.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class] SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#multiple_bindings for an explanation. Failed to instantiate SLF4J LoggerFactory Reported exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Level ==============================================
Environment
Product: TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for Database
Version: 7.3.x
OS: All Supported Operating Systems
Resolution
The above issue occurs if "slf4j-log4j12-1.7.31.jar" is loaded before slf4j-simple-1.7.31.jar or log4j-slf4j-impl-2.17.1.jar. When the adapter starts, it loads the log4j jar files from TPCL_HOME/lib. The OS determines the order in which the jar files are loaded. Sometimes, the "slf4j-log4j12-1.7.31.jar" is loaded first, and this causes the above problem.
To resolve this problem, add "%TPCL_HOME%/lib/slf4j-simple-1.7.31.jar" to the beginning of tibco.class.path.extended in the adapter tra file to ensure that the adapter loads slf4j-simple-1.7.31.jar first.
