Weblogic Guava issue when deploying application

Question

I'm trying to deploy an application to a weblogic server, and I get the following error.
I have guava.jar in my classpath, I tried with all the latest versions I tried from 10 and up. Can somebody help me out with this?

    <Error> <Console> <BEA-240003> <Administration Console encountered the following error: weblogic.application.ModuleException: [HTTP:101216]Servlet: "action" failed to preload on startup in Web application: "...".

Answer 1

It looks like you're running against a different version of Guava than you compiled against. Possibly you are running against multiple versions of Guava, and you are randomly getting the wrong one. This may be happening if one of your other dependencies has wrongly bundled Guava.

To figure out where this copy of MoreExecutors is coming from, I've heard that you can find it reflectively by using this snippet in UserServer:

MoreExecutors.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation()
