java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.log4j.Level

I'm trying to use hibernate 3.5.1 final in a swing application and here are the jars I'm using:

  • hibernate-core-3.5.1-Final
  • hibernate-entitymanager-3.5.1-Final
  • hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.0.Final
  • hibernate-annotations-3.5.1-Final
  • hibernate-commons-annotations-3.2.0.Final
  • dom4j-1.6.1
  • slf4j-api-1.6.4
  • slf4j-log4j12-1.6.4

When I try to run the application, I get the following error:

What is log4j to SLF4J?

The Log4j 2 to SLF4J Adapter allows applications coded to the Log4j 2 API to be routed to SLF4J.

How do you fix No Class Def Found error?

lang. NoClassDefFoundError, which means the Class Loader file responsible for dynamically loading classes can not find the . class file. So to remove this error, you should set your classpath to the location where your Class Loader is present.

How do I fix failed to instantiate SLF4J Loggerfactory?

you need to place your corresponding slf4j-*-*. jar binding files into your classpath folder. You can locate them by locate slf4j if present. As of SLF4J version 1.6.

You also need to include the Log4J JAR file in the classpath.

Note that slf4j-log4j12-1.6.4.jar is only an adapter to make it possible to use Log4J via the SLF4J API. It does not contain the actual implementation of Log4J.

You need to download log4j and add in your classpath.

slf4j-jdk14-1.7.25.jar
