Grails SLF4J issue with Weblogic 10.3.6

[cloudwalker84]

I posted this on stackoverflow, but figured I'd post it here as well since
I'm really stuck on this one.

We've started getting the following exception when deploying to Weblogic:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating
bean with name
'alertService': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating
bean with name 'mailService': Initialization of bean failed; nested
exception is

nested exception is

failed; nested exception is
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.slf4j.helpers.MessageFormatter.arrayFormat(Ljava/lang/String;
[Ljava/lang/Object;)Lorg/slf4j/helpers/FormattingTuple;

I've tried removing the slf4j jar from my ear. I've also tried putting the
following in my weblogic-appliction.xml:

<prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>org.slf4j.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages>

<prefer-application-resources>

<resource-name>org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class</resource-name>
</prefer-application-resources>

Nothing has worked thus far. Basically, I've tried all of the different
things that I've found online. Usually, when I have a conflict with a jar
that I'm providing myself and that Weblogic is also providing, just using
the prefer-application-packages does the trick.

I'm using Grails 2.3.6 with Weblogic 10.3.6.

It may be 'grails-plugin-logging' conflicting, as that references some
slf4j classes

Cheers

Yeah, I think that is what is causing the conflict. That plugin can't be
removed or altered though, can it? I thought it was required for Grails to
start up?

It can be removed, just exclude it from your inherited dependencies

inherits('globals') { excludes 'grails-plugin-logging' }

In case anyone comes across this issue, this is what my problem ended up
being:

What was happening is that we were including the activemq-all artifact for
JMS stuff, and this artifact is what they call an "uber" jar. It as a ton of
dependencies baked into it that cannot be excluded via maven – one of those
dependencies was an old version of slf4j. So, even though I had the
"prefer-application-packages" set in Weblogic for slf4j, it wasn't using the
Grails provided version, but rather the activemq one. Rather than using the
activemq-all dependency, I switched to use individual components from
activemq and was able to at that point exclude slf4j. This solved my issue.
