I work to simple app connect GAE App with GCS _google cloud store.

I just try to create a new GSCService instance, by useing next GCSTestServlet servlet . but I have the next run time error.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/appengine/tools/cloudstorage/RetryParams

Hope if anybody can help me to slove this error. thanks.

Here all details about error.

The platform I use

• elcipse 4.2.1
• Java jdk1. 7.0_09
• appengine-java-sdk-1.8.

The import JAR files.

• appengine-gcs-client-0.3.jar
• guava-14.0.1.jar

GCSTestServlet servlet

  package ahmed.com;

    import java.io.IOException;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;

    import com.google.appengine.tools.cloudstorage.GcsService;
    import com.google.appengine.tools.cloudstorage.GcsServiceFactory;
    import com.google.appengine.tools.cloudstorage.RetryParams;

    @SuppressWarnings("serial")
    public class GCSTestServlet extends HttpServlet {
        //the problem appear by just try to create GcsService
        private final GcsService gcsService =
                GcsServiceFactory.createGcsService(RetryParams.getDefaultInstance());
        public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
                throws IOException {
            resp.setContentType("text/plain");
            resp.getWriter().println("Hello, world");
        }
    }

Answer 1

Finally I found the cause of the error and solve it.

The problem was that I import the JAR files to Project but I didn't copy it for (war > WEB-INF > lib) folder, so at compile time the application found the classes, But at run time the application can't find the classes so the next Error message appears.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/appengine/tools/cloudstorage/RetryParams

Answer 2

I think the issue that your are using an old or new version of the jar file ! you have to make sure that the

appengine-java-sdk-1.8.jar / appengine-gcs-client-0.3.jar / guava-14.0.1.jar

are loaded at compile time and the same version loaded at run time of the application most probably that the jar file loaded at run time are older than the one your using in the build path of the application.

I faced the same issue before !
