" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initia...

rkalbhor · ‎Apr 26, 2011

Hi Windchillers,

We have a newly built Cluster for Windchill 9.1. Navigating through some of
Product#Folders were get the following error,

Could not initialize class
wt.epm.identity.EPMIconSelector$DocumentTypeIconSelector$DocumentTypeMapping

The Class file exists on all servers. We even tried to replace with an OOTB
class file. Ran Makejar.

It seems there is an issue with Tomcat not being able to execute this class.
I will appreciate some suggestions here. Below is the Catalina stack trace.

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class
wt.epm.identity.EPMIconSelector$DocumentTypeIconSelector$DocumentTypeMapping

I /suspect /that the method server logs provide a more detailed
explanation (e.g. including specific line numbers and errors) of the
first occurrence of the failure to initialize this class.

Thanks Jess,

Which MOR is this at exactly?

jessh · ‎Apr 26, 2011

Also I don't believe this is the *first* time an exception occurred in
EPMIconSelector in the given method server. That occurrence should
likely have more information than simply "could not initialize" and a
line number.

rkalbhor · ‎Apr 26, 2011

Its 9.1 M050.

Rohan

jessh · ‎Apr 26, 2011

Well, it is quite unclear as to what's causing the exception. This is
almost certainly not the first occurrence of an exception from within
EPMIconSelector in the given method server. The first occurrence should
provide more information -- but at any rate I suspect you'll need to
work with tech support. [This is not really my area of the product.]

Rohan,

Have you checked to see if the class even exists in the package referenced?

Alex,

Yeah that's the first thing even we thought following the error stack trace
but the referred class file and its package are present on all Master and
Slaves.

We also get the error several times a day(PDMLink 9.1 M050, single server). We suspect that Tomcat is the culprit, because doing a quick bounce of Tomcat seems to clear it up for awhile. Our production server is a 64-bit, but we are running 32-bit Java, so on one of our dev servers we have switched to 64-bit Java to overcome the 32-bit limit of memory usage, and so far this seems to have cleared up the problem. Will report more when we swap out our production server Java to 64-bit.

Send lawyers, guns, and money...the sh!t has hit the fan!

rkalbhor · ‎Apr 29, 2011

I think our root cause lies in the Apache on the Load balancer. We copied
the codebase to the Load balancer as mentioned in the PTC guide 'to make
codebase available Loadbalancer'. Are we missing something here? our cluster
has all Solaris machines. Is copying codebase not the solution?

This should be unrelated.

The key is to find the first NoClassDefFoundError or
ExceptionInInitializerError in a given process' logs. Occurrences after
the first contain less information (not our doing in this case, it's a
JVM thing).

Overall this is something to work through with technical support.

rkalbhor · ‎May 02, 2011

Thanks Jess, Bill and Alex for your replies.

We did more some intensive testing 'one slave at a time'. On one of the
slaves we got an error 'Could not map WTFolder to EPMDocument" (its not the
exact error but something like that). So we in all the logs and checked if
there we any issues related with EPMdocuments and found out that one Custom
OOTB type EPMCADDRAWINGTEMPL was surprisingly missing from the system. I was
surprised since we had upgraded the system 2 weeks back. Upgrade Manager did
not report this error too. After we propagated this type to all the machines
our issue was resolved.

Thanks and Regards,
Rohan
