Sl4j error when using msal4j needed for ActiveDirectoryPassword DB authentication

r.walde · April 25, 2023, 8:03am

Hi,

we need to use msal4j for connection to Azure SQL DB.
msal4j needs sl4j.
But when I use that,
Cuba app does not work any more.
Using the 7.2.20 Cuba version.

Any idea, how to solve that?

Here the implementations I need for msal4j:

   implementation 'com.microsoft.sqlserver:mssql-jdbc:11.2.0.jre11'
    implementation 'net.minidev:accessors-smart:2.4.7'
    implementation 'org.ow2.asm:asm:9.1'
    implementation 'com.nimbusds:content-type:2.1'
    implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.12.1'
    implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.12.1'
    implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.12.1'
    implementation 'com.github.stephenc.jcip:jcip-annotations:1.0-1'
    implementation 'net.minidev:json-smart:2.4.7'
    implementation 'com.nimbusds:lang-tag:1.5'
    implementation 'com.microsoft.azure:msal4j:1.11.0'
    implementation 'com.nimbusds:nimbus-jose-jwt:9.9.3'
    implementation 'com.nimbusds:oauth2-oidc-sdk:9.7'

Tomcat is starting without an error,
but when I call the app URL,
I get this error:

after trying multiple settings and versions,
I am ending with msal4j 11.1.0
jdk 11
mssqljdbc 9.4.1 jre11

I can exclude implementation (‘com.microsoft.azure:msal4j:1.11.0’) { exclude (group: ‘org.slf4j’, module: ‘slf4j-api’) }
but then I get the error:
Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/LoggerFactory

when I put any slf4j jar into the Tomcat lib dir, I get the error:
SLF4J: Failed to load class “org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder”.
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See SLF4J Error Codes for further details.
SLF4J: Failed to load class “org.slf4j.impl.StaticMDCBinder”.
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation MDCAdapter implementation.
SLF4J: See SLF4J Error Codes for further details.

And if I delete the sl4j jar from the lib dir,
I get the error NoClassDefFound…

do not know what else I could test.
This issue only pops up in Cuba app together with Tomcat.

r.walde · April 25, 2023, 1:45pm

btw… it works with JMIX, but we cannot migrate all Cuba apps, because the effort would be to big…

krivopustov · April 25, 2023, 4:13pm

Did you try to put both API and implementation jars as pointed out in the SLF4J docs, like

slf4j-api-2.0.7.jar
slf4j-simple-2.0.7.jar

r.walde · April 25, 2023, 5:38pm

Hi,
tried it now… but did not solve the issue.
When I put the jars only in the lib,
starting the app from the studio will automatically create an older version of the slf4j-api in the shared/lib folder…
When I put both mentioned jars into the lib folder… I got much more info logs, but also an error in the end.

When I only put the slf4j-api-2.0.7.jar into the shared/lib I get this error:
SLF4J: No SLF4J providers were found.
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See SLF4J Error Codes for further details.
SLF4J: Class path contains SLF4J bindings targeting slf4j-api versions 1.7.x or earlier.
SLF4J: Ignoring binding found at [jar:file:/D:/Daten/Cuba/active_projects/untitled3/deploy/tomcat/shared/lib/logback-classic-1.2.3.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]
SLF4J: See SLF4J Error Codes for an explanation.

When I put it also into the lib folder, I get this:
SLF4J: No SLF4J providers were found.
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See SLF4J Error Codes for further details.

when I put both into the lib folder, I get this error:

I really want to help, but I’m unable to reliably model your situation. Please provide a project where we could reproduce the problem.

Hi Konstantin,

thx a lot!
I zipped the project.
It uses postgresql for main db
and an additional datastore to connect to Azure SQL DB with authentication=activedirectorypassword

In our environment,
the implemented .jar files are the only way to get the JDBC connection working fine to the Azure SQL.
It works outside Cuba and also in Cuba when i.e. testing the connection or generating the model.

Only at runtime (started via Cuba studio or with startup.bat) I have those issues.
I am working on Windows 11, tested different Java versions, from Oracle 8 to openJDK 11…

Kind regards
Roland

Find a solution:

Put the logback-classic-1.2.3.jar, logback-core-1.2.3.jar, slf4j-api-1.7.32.jar
into the lib folder
and excluded the slf4j in the msal4j implementation…

Now I have a huge logging (must be set to debug somewhere)
but it works fine now…

Regards
Roland
