org.hibernate.QueryException: ClassNotFoundException: org.hibernate.hql.ast.HqlToken

[Prasanth S Pillai]

Hi,

I am getting the following error while deploying the ear file in WLS 10.3.2 . This works fine in 9.2. I have done the following as work around.

a) Added the following in weblogic-application.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<weblogic-application>
<prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>antlr.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages>
</weblogic-application>

It did not work for me.

b) added the antlr.jar in the PRE_CLASSPATH in startWebLogic.cmd.

This also did not work.

I am not sure whether I need to do any other step associated to the above solution. Please suggest.

Regards,
Prasanth

The package constrain you configured is for antlr. Not hibernate

[Robertus Haryanto]

I think you should set PRE_CLASSPATH in $DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.sh
Since on this file, PRE_CLASSPATH are set to blank!

Thanks everyone. Weblogic had its own antlr jar file reference. Solution Add the respective changes in the weblogic.xml & weblogic-application.xml.

Hi Prashant,

I'd be thankful, if you share the changes you made to weblogic.xml and/or weblogic-application.xml file.
I couldn't able to fix it.
Here is my environment details:
App server: Weblogic 10.3.3
Java: JDK1.6
JPA: hibernate-3.1.jar

Hello Murali,

My workaround is published in http://sprasanth.blogspot.com/

Hope it helps

Thanks for the reply. But, no luck for me. Did you check the environment I sent to you.
I have both the files weblogic-application.xml in META-INF and weblogic.xml in WEb-INF.
Updates of these files is overriding my local configurations. Lookeing for the fix, where it has no dependencies in my app.

Even I tried with the PRE_CLASSPATH update in setDomainEnv.cmd for antlr-2.7.5.jar file.
Working on this to fix. Let you know the updates, if any.

[Prasanth S Pillai]

The weblogic.xml changes are required only if you have a EAR file. From the explanation you have given, I presume that you have a windows environment. So you might need only the PRE_CLASSPATH changes in .cmd file.

But first you can verify the following

1. Check if there are more than one occurance of antlr_x_x.jar file in your environment.
2. If there are more occurring, which is obvious as you are getting the exception, then decide from where you want to load it & make changes accordingly.

I am sure this exception occurs due to wrong class loading.

Hi Prasanth,

Your check list helped me with some work around.
For 1. There's no more antlr jar file exists, except the WL10.3 provided.
2. I have loaded the file from 'startWebLogic.cmd' (updates for: set CLASSPATH=%WL_HOME%\common\lib\antlr-2.7.6.jar;%SAVE_CLASSPATH%)
and observed that its also working fine from 'setDomainEnv.cmd' (updates for: PRE_CLASSPATH="%{DOMAIN_HOME}%/../lib/pre_classpath_jar/antlr-2.7.6.jar

Make sure to load the file only once( not sure about the behavior, if we load it more than one).
**Only the antlr version:2.7.6 worked for me.

Glad to know that Murali.
