I am trying to run a Spring Application but it keeps throwing this error:
"Servlet.service() for servlet [dispatcherServlet] in context with path [] threw exception [Handler dispatch failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Logger] with root cause
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.log4j.Logger"
Below is the stack trace of the error.

This is the getRoutingParameters method in RouteConfigurationServiceAmazonS3Impl class where the error is happening on the STWLogger line. I don't know how to fix this. Anyone?
@Override
public RoutingParameters getRoutingParameters(String businessUnit) throws Exception {
RoutingParameters params = null;
String content = getRouteConfigurationData(businessUnit,
Constants.ROUTE_PARAMETER_FILENAME);
if (content == null) {
STWLogger.getLogger().debug("No Parameter Configuration found for " + businessUnit + "\nFetching Configuration for Default for businessUnit ");
content = getRouteConfigurationData(Constants.ROUTE_CONFIGURATION_DEFAULT_BUSINESSUNIT, Constants.ROUTE_PARAMETER_FILENAME);
if (content == null) {
return params;
}
params = GsonUtils.getGson().fromJson(content, RoutingParameters.class);
saveRoutingParameters(businessUnit, params);
return params;
}
params = GsonUtils.getGson().fromJson(content, RoutingParameters.class);
return params;
}
Update: I have made the changes based on the 2nd approach of the 1st answer given below, but the error persists.

Ok. The faulty line here is:
STWLogger.getLogger().debug("No Parameter Configuration found for " + businessUnit + "\nFetching Configuration for Default for businessUnit ");
I cannot find the source code of the STWLogger class to confirm by a direct analysis, but it seems from the stacktrace that it tries to instantiate the logging system explicitly through Log4j, instead of relying on the standard logging API SLF4J that would select the appropriate logging system at runtime.
The problem here is that you do not have Log4j available with the standard configuration of Spring Boot that you applied. Indeed Spring Boot will import and use Logback as the default logging solution in your classpath, provided by the starter spring-boot-starter-logging that is a dependency of the starter spring-boot-starter-web you use in you pom.xml.
You have two solutions in my opinion.
package org.mypackage;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
public class TestLog {
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(TestLog.class);
public void test() {
LOGGER.info("Your log.");
}
}
