Guice 3.0 - ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on startup?

Question

Why Guice 3.0 throws this exception instead of a formatted message for wrong configurated components (@Inject is missing for example)?

My initating code is:

Injector injector = Guice.createInjector(new SwingUIModule(useCaseFactory));
injector.getInstance(MainFrameUI.class).show();

Answer 1

We have faced this issue and it turned out that it is not Guice 3 issue at all (in our case). Fact is, though, that due to poor Exception handling in Guice 3 we got the same error message as the author.

TL/DR

The source of our problem was NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class ... exception that was thrown in a static block in one of our classes.

It turned out, that we had excluded too many classes during fat-jar building, and simply there were some classes missing. Unfortunately, with Guice 3, we received only $ComputationException: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: ... message, to help us out.

My point is, that it might be, that Guice 3 is not the source of your problem.

Full version

1. We have a project (A) that we include as a dependency in project (B) that is running on Spark Cluster

2. Project A, was using log4j 2, and spark-hive (used in Project B) for some reason does not like when it has extra logging frameworks in the classpath, so we excluded it in sbt-assembly:

   ExclusionRule(organization = "org.apache.logging.log4j"),
   

3. In project A, we have a class that has, lets say some code like this (java):

   static {
       this.defaultMarker = MarkerManager.getMarker("abc")
   }
   

   And MarkerManager is from org.apache.logging.log4j, so this class is missing in fat-jar of project B.

4. We run it on the cluster, where some class that is supposed to be @injected uses the class with static block.

5. Boom! $ComputationException: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

6. I decided to initialize all classes manually, without Guice only to find out that it was not Guice fault.

7. Fix the ExclusionRule and it all works with Guice 3 again.

Answer 2

I think the issue is with how Guice 3 and below handles lambda expressions. You might have to upgrade to Guice 4 to fix this as mentioned here.
