java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation org/slf4j/ILoggerFactory

Getting following exception bringing up a Spring Application on Weblogic 11g while trying to instantiate a Spring Controller.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'testController' defined in

at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.createBeanInstance(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1021)

Fix:

This is happening due to the conflict between my ear lib and weblogic provided slf4j jars. I found a workaround to run this ear on my local. I set the prefer-web-inf-classes to false in weblogic.xml under WEB-INF

<wls:prefer-web-inf-classes>false</wls:prefer-web-inf-classes>

The above would use the file provided by weblogic even if it exists in ear lib.

Here is sample weblogic.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Caused By: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field:

Getting following exception bringing up a Spring Application while trying to instantiate a Spring bean. I have defined the bean and autowired it in my spring controller:

Here is my service. Spring should be instantiated when I bring up the application.

@Service("nameFinderService")
@Lazy(true)
public class NameFinderServiceImpl implements INameFinderService {

}

Here is my Controller where I have autowired the above service:

@Controller
public class MainController{

@Autowired
private INameFinderService nameFinderService;

}

Fix : The package specified in component-scan in spring configuration was specified to a more specific package as I had my spring files in that package, The new spring bean existed one level higher in package. That was the reason it could not find the bean.

I change the following one level up,

from this
<context:component-scan base-package="com.nmservice.web.base" />

to 

<context:component-scan base-package="com.nmservice.web" />

And the issue got resolved.

Android Studio - Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout"

Getting following exception while trying to run a Test app. My Activity extends AppCompatActivity.

The exception is thrown when I call setContentView with activity name under onCreate() method.

setContentView(R.layout.activity_welcome_screen);

I see the underlying issue is following :

Suppressed: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout
