Spring Boot Starter Cache - Velocity is missing?

Question

i am testing Spring Boot 1.3.0.M3 with ehcache and got some problems.

When i'm starting the application following exception occurs on the console:

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'velocityConfigurer' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/velocity/VelocityAutoConfiguration$VelocityWebConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/velocity/runtime/log/CommonsLogLogChute at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.initializeBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1578) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.doCreateBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:545) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.createBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:482) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory$1.getObject(AbstractBeanFactory.java:305) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry.getSingleton(DefaultSingletonBeanRegistry.java:230) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.doGetBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:301) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractBeanFactory.getBean(AbstractBeanFactory.java:196) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory.preInstantiateSingletons(DefaultListableBeanFactory.java:772) at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.finishBeanFactoryInitialization(AbstractApplicationContext.java:834) at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.refresh(AbstractApplicationContext.java:537) at org.springframework.boot.context.embedded.EmbeddedWebApplicationContext.refresh(EmbeddedWebApplicationContext.java:118) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.refresh(SpringApplication.java:667) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.doRun(SpringApplication.java:342) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.run(SpringApplication.java:273) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.run(SpringApplication.java:971) at org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.run(SpringApplication.java:960) at com.aconso.creator2.CreatorApplication.main(CreatorApplication.java:26) Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/velocity/runtime/log/CommonsLogLogChute at org.springframework.ui.velocity.VelocityEngineFactory.createVelocityEngine(VelocityEngineFactory.java:238) at org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityConfigurer.afterPropertiesSet(VelocityConfigurer.java:120) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.invokeInitMethods(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1637) at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.initializeBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1574) ... 16 more Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.velocity.runtime.log.CommonsLogLogChute at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:366) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:355) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:354) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:425) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:308) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:358) ... 20 more

I have an ehcache.xml in my classpath and the EHCacheManager is instantiated. When i remove the spring-boot-starter-cache- and ehcache-dependency everything starts fine. (But then only with ConcurrentMapCacheManager)

Question:

Do I need velocity with spring-boot-starter-cache or is there something other missing or wrong?

Answer 1

I had the same issue with spring-security-cas depending on velocity. You can solve the problem by adding

@EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude = VelocityAutoConfiguration.class)

to your spring boot application main class
